Draft at Bakes (right in photo), 4/17/26. Fully hazy, bright yellow, white head, strong lacework. Grapefruit, melon, pineapple, grass, grains. Super bright, slightly tart. Not overly sweet at all. Lightly bitter. Quite good. Wish these guys would do a few more 5-7% hoppy offerings, because they nail them.

Pours a hazy, light lemon-banana yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is dank, with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Light sweetness. Mild hop bitterness in the finish.

16 ounce can from brewery. Number one with a bullet. Hazy pale yellow pour. Dank citrus aroma hints at grapefruit and pine. Flavor is sweet lemon, grapefruit, orange pith and kiwi fruit. Smooth and approachable. Notes of resiny pine on backend.
