I had this beer on-tap in a snifter at the brewery.

Appearance: thoroughly hazy orange-yellow with a thin layer of white foam.

Smell: light orangey-grapefruity aroma with a little bit of sweet malt coming through as well. Not too bad.

Taste: citrusy and very slightly tropical with a sweetish malt base. Not bad, but nothing really special going on here.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a pretty good carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: fair-to-middlin’ hazy; nothing too wrong here but also not much special.

Here's another selection that was consumed in October 2022 when I was in LV for a work conference. Almost a year later, I'm here adding the beer to this Next Glass database. I'm also writing a review for said beer because I'm not a complete sociopath who just adds beer without reviewing it. Not like I'm the only living boy in New York.

Pours a lightly hazy viscosity and appearance, yellow, 1/2" white head. The aroma has some down under dank feel to it. Are these those down under Cascades? Beyond that has the familiar Mosaic meets Citra kind of feel to it. If you were hoping for Nelson, probably a let down.

The taste excels at getting the blueberry, weed, tangerine, passion fruit notes down. It may be cheap pop land if you will, but the system works. The haziness of the body is down the middle in terms of quality, not the biggest use of wheat and oats, but enough to take some of the bitter sting down for those who struggle with west coast ipas.

Overall it was another indication that this place is plenty good enough to have meal, watch a game and knock back some selections.
