not a bad effort, consistent haze, fruity hops if somewhat generic, but technically solid, which was the case more or less across the board, i think maybe deserves better than what the other reviewer gave it here, but maybe not by a lot. its nice and pale and soft, sort of creamy and wheaty looking, with most of an inch of condensed tight white foam on it, pretty bright for a hazy. it smells mostly dry hopped, citrus forward with subtle pineapple, clementine and lemon to me, with an herbal almost chamomile supporting note, light sweetness from the grain in support, honeysuckle, daffodil, kind of springy to me, lemongrass and resin later. the flavor is green melon and more of the citrus, moderate intensity, not enough to burn or anything, and bitterness is held back, but this is more than just a juice box, some balance and green hop character fits in well. there is a faint linger to the hops thats more pellet than desirable volatiles, but its minor in this style and not an issue for me. some grain body and eve creaminess to the texture, fine carbonation, small bubbles, enough of them, lemony to finish, fresh tasting, fermented near dry with a yeast that brings just a bit of flavor as well. on the safe side but drinkable and relatively clean, modern hop profile with subtle coconut as it warms. would drink again.

Taster flight at Brewery. Hazy yellow pour, filmy white head, lacing. Light citrusy aroma, grapefruit. Taste is citrus, grapefruit, pineapple with a nice creamy feel.
