Growlette from the brewery.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy yellow color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than about a minute leaving some light lacing sliding into the beer.
The smell had a crisp refreshing blend of sweet orange and light lemon spritzing itself fully into a sweet yet bitter pine and even bringing in light tropical fruits to balance.
The taste was slick and sweet bringing in a nice \"curveball\" of bitter underneath (rind-like) and crisp. A semi-dry crisp fruity aftertaste leads to the same sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a superb sessionability about it. Carbonation feels like an APA and yet still carries a nice bitterness to pound my tongue.
Overall, what a wonderful sessionable Summer APA, this beer is one I’d definitely have again.
