Can (4/30/26) from the brewery. Opaque, grapefruit-juice yellow, quickly fading head, trace lacing. Aroma is strong citrus and spicy herb (reminiscent of how a sour cream and onion potato chip smells). Taste is initially more quintessential Citra hop bomb with later citrus morphing into mild astringency/herb, cracker finish. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, dry, yeasty finish as taste. Good strength for ABV and for a Pale Ale. Interesting spicy herb component.

Canned 4/30/26, drunk 7/2/26, compliments of tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
Delicate and aromatic juicy fruits with a touch of soft floral/lilac character. Lots of guava-kiwi-passion fruit. Ample malt gently balances but remains out of the way to allow the hop to shine. Not getting a distinct yeast signature here; the beer is very, very clean.
Clean, delicate, zippy, very drinkable. Good malt depth and high attenuation, with zesty, tropical fruits tending on the underripe. Passion fruit and kiwi with mild, but ample bitterness. Bit of honey emerging on the end, from the malt. All-around flavorful, balanced, clean, incredibly drinkable and quenching stuff.

0,473l can from KCM Ruohilahti. Canned 04/30, so under 2 months old stuff. Murky yellow beer with medium- head. Aroma is citrus, tangerine and hops. Flavor is citrus, grapefruit, hop bitterness. Excellent brew for the low abv.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you so much. Aroma and flavor is all juicy citrus. Orange, grapefruit, hints of tangerine. What’s the most impressive here is this is 5.8 % and drinks like a 8 % IPA. Super soft mouth feel with plenty of juice character throughout the sip. Crazy Chugability
Big years since I had a pale ale that there was this remarkable.

Pours a hazy, grapefruit juice color, with minimal head. Aroma is rather muted, with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, along with a healthy bit of hop resin. Smooth mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.
