Friends out West
Derive Brewing Company

On tap at the source.

A - Hazy medium gold colored pour with moderately dense white lacing.

S - Light citrus, stone fruit, and some earthy tropical fruit. Aroma is on the lighter side.

T - Light tropical fruit, some berry, citrus, mango, papaya, light spiciness, and ends on the balanced side.

M - Big body for a West Coast style and finishes wet.

O - Light on the bitterness for a West Coast. Citrus resin starts to build on the palate as you work through the beer.

I am trying this beer off the tapper at the brewery as part of a four sample flight. It poured a hazy golden with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank citrus peel notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright crisp sweet malt base with tropical citrus presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.
