Canned on 12/16/25. Troebele goudgele body en een flinke vrijwel witte kraag met goede retentie. Geur is harsig, kruidig, bitterig, citrus. Retronasaal is het nogal bitter, kruidig, beetje jam/fruitig, deeg. Smaak is redelijk bitter, iets zoetig, licht fruitzuurtje. Medium body. Lange finish, mild bitter.

Draught @ Queue Beer, Brooklyn (Sept 2023). Hazy dark yellow with a small frothy whitish head that’s practically just a ring, citrus-mango-peach aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter unripe mango-citrus-pineapple taste, smooth thin body, long mango-citrus finish. Well balanced and flavorful.

Can shared with the Mrs at home. It pours clear golden - blonde with a fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh and fragrant, touch green, dank, woody, green fruits, melon, white grape, gooseberry fool, gummy bears, tangerine, limeade and Irn Bru funnily enough. The taste is firmly dry, pleasing level of bitterness which lingers, woody, pine needles, touch green, dank, peppery spice, tropical vibes, mango, papaya, zesty vibes, grapefruit, Irm Bru, crackery malt and a nip of booze with a drying, finale. Medium body and average carbonation. Ticks all the boxes. Flavourful abs moreish.

Can (3/12/24) pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris (label says Citra in addition to Simcoe and Nelson listed)! Deeply hazy gold with decent head with excellent retention and light lacing. Aroma is super danky herbal with minimal white grape. Taste is strong danky herbal with much milder white grape. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Where's the Citra? Well made but this reminds me of steamed green beans--there's a reason green beans need butter or salt or garlic to make dank vegetal enjoyable. Meh. Is everyone drinking the Kool Aid?

750mL growler filled 3/22/24, drunk 3/29/24. Gently hazy, bronze-brass. Minimal head. Nose is woody Simcoe and juicy, lightly white grape-redolent nelson. Cracker and biscuit. Easygoing yeast and mineral with no resin. Soft, malty, juicy, lightly woody, not too intense on the pine or wood. Chewy body and great attenuation. Not flashy, of course, but very polished and well-made.

Fresh 16 oz can from the brewery. Thank you ClarkVV Aroma and flavor are a mirror. White grape, orange with some soft floral hints toward the finish. Soft supple texture with a very light floral bitterness that balances the fruit. Extremely well balanced. Overall, excellent from start to finish.

Craft Beer Junction bottleshare. Thanks to LKS for the can. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Smooth airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy thin creamy sweet pale malts. Hops are notably grassy, but not that skunky. Light dry pine. Decent if thin juicy citrus on the back end. Fairly dry finish. Nice beer but once again I would not go out my way for this brewery.
