Pours a nicely hazy apricot color with a creamy white head that provides ample lacing. The nose features ripe orange and some peach notes, which fits the Amarillo hop profile, which I really enjoy, so I am now entering salivation mode.
The taste features the ripe oranges, but what I really enjoy are the peach flavors and a subtle oat flavor at the back of the palate that balances this beer nicely. Lip smackingly tasty.
The mouthfeel is medium and sort of wavers between dry and soft. I’d drink more of this - lots more, especially if it was tap.

16oz can (no date) poured into 16oz tulip. Poured a fully murky orange color with 3/4 inch of white head that had low-moderate retention and lacing.
The aroma, while hop-forward, was subdued, had a certain level of mustiness, and a bare minimum of grain.
Same on the tongue, the hops (Amarillo is one of my faves) didn't have the brightness I expected.
The body was fairly average; medium-light, smooth, with a little bite, and had a semi-dry finish.
Drinkability was OK, no issues, but I also wasn't left craving another.
Overall, an OK brew. let's hope for better next FH season.
