In the fucken can. Pours an orange appearance with a light tan head. Really nice, dank, spicy hoppy nose with some light contras. Fairly dry flavor. Medium bodied. Delicious, easy drinking, spicy hoppy, ganja flavor. Good brew.

Can, thanks Brian! Pours hazy golden, medium creamy off white had that dissipates slowly with great lacing. Aroma is quite dank, pine, cat piss, cut grass. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, nice and simple. Light body, not harsh. Good stuff

Can. Light orange pour with a slightly hoppy citrus aroma. Semi sweet orange flavor. A little hops. Really light drinking beer perfect for the summer time. Could have guessed that. Good stuff.

On tap at BevX360, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma of light hops, some light tangerine and biscuity malt. Flavour is refreshingly and lightly hoppy, with some light fruity notes. Not that interesting, but highly drinkable and a nice summer beer. Solid.

On tap. A lightly hazy, golden-orange beer topped by a cute, off-white head. Lighlty citrusy aroma with pine cone hints, some flowery notes and a pleasant maltyness. Some bitterness in the flavor, just enough to keep it interesting, and the maltyness is just serving as a foundation for the hops. Medium body, quite dry, and with a nice level of carbonation. Dry, hop driven finish. Sure not a beer you enjoy by the fireplace in the winter, but as I had it, on an oceanside restaurant it’s quite enjoyable and it slakes the thirst. 130702

Growler at Endo’s house, 25/05/13, thanks to Jim - labelled as ’summer ale’. Lightly hazed pale golden with a thin white head of bubbles. Nose is fresh hops, citrus, bitter tangerines, light pine. Taste comprises hops, tropical fruits, light manfo, grapefruit, orange pith. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, hop bitterness in a crisp and refreshing finish. A nice APA.

This beer pours a clear pale yellow color with a medium foamy white head that dissipates steadily. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus and grain. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hops, citrus and malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

22 oz bomber courtesy of bvc. The pour is a mostly clear golden amber with a well formed three inch egg white head. Pretty lacing left behind as the head falls slowly. The aroma is floral and citrus fruit goodness. Behind the hops is a nice toasted malt character that shows a hint of sweetness. The taste reverses the nose, light caramel sweet toasted malt, the floral and mildly bitter citrus - a bit of clementine fruit and peel. Citrus is nice, has a bit of tart tang to it. The palate is medium bodied, lower soft carbonation, dry bitter finish and a nice mineral character develops in the aftertaste. Nice beer, would love to try this dead fresh on tap - I am sure the hops would be more pronounced in the taste. Cheers Brandon.
