Pours hazy blond with a smallish cap that dissipates quickly. Lemony, tropical hops and clean bready malts in the nose. The taste is hoppy with lots of apricot, mango, grapefruit hop flavors. Medium bodied with high carbonation. The finish is moderately bitter with some lingering citrus hops.
A straightforward hoppy pale ale. worth a try.

473 mL can from Superstore; dated Jul 27 2020 and served barely chilled.
Pours a cloudy, translucent golden-orange colour, generating nearly an inch of soapy, sparkling white head that dissipates within the next few minutes. A gorgeous coat of even lacing has been left in its wake, as well as a fat collar of creamy foam - looks fantastic. I'm getting grapefruit, orange and passion fruit on the nose, along with minor suggestions of peach, grape and mango.
Tasty - like any good APA, there's a nice bready-sweet pale malt backbone that provides structural support for the hops, which start off quite citrusy. I'm getting white grapefruit and orange, followed by hints of tropical fruit akin to melon, passion fruit and mango. It finishes with hints of gooseberry and some pithy, light bitterness that lingers into and dries out the aftertaste. Medium in body, with relatively low carbonation that weakly prickles the tongue, resulting in a smooth, soft-textured brew. Excellent drinkability - I could do a few of these in a row, which is more than I could say about most hazy pale ales in general.
Final Grade: 3.91, a B+. Garnet is a darn good American-style pale ale - sort of along the same lines as an NEIPA, which is to say juicy & fruity with restrained bitterness. Also somewhat impressive is the fact that this can tasted so good despite being nearly five months old... and I have no reason to believe it was refrigerated for most of that time. I'll be back for more, and I can't wait to try the other beers in the Dragan portfolio.

Opaque, hazy honey yellow. Good sized head with some retention and good lacing. Quite hoppy on the nose, same to taste, just on the edge of aggressive. Smooth mouth feel, dry finish. Assertive Citra hops, quite flavorful.
One of just two current offerings from the brewery.
