Poured from a 16 oz can dated July 15, 2019. The can states this is a pale ale. Aroma is hop forward and fruity with mango, pineapple, tropical citrus, and guava. Light cracker malt and wheat notes. Light resin and dank notes. Pours a rather hazy, pale golden straw color with a large, fluffy, white head that recedes steadily into itself leaving a small film that lingers. Moderately high lacing and no legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt and wheat notes. Moderately strong bitterness with moderate hop notes of pineapple, mango, guava, tropical citrus and lighter dank and resin notes. A light grassy hop note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice, hop forward pale ale with a light malt body. Nice tropical fruit notes and a hint of dank that works with the more wheat driven malt profile.

On tap at Cellarmaker. It pours a hazy yellow color with a lasting white head. The aroma is dank weed, kiwi, passionfruit. The flavor is the same. Low bitterness and light on the palate with kiwi, passionfruit, and dank. Snappy finish. Good.

Cloudy muted orange. 1 finger creamy white head. Loads of simcoe and citra aroma. Smells like society 5 from HFS. Great mouthfeel. Lots of citrus and dank fresh pine cone. It has the most grapefruit juiciness and ultra fresh fruit.

Draft @ Cellarmaker. Hazy bright gold with retention. Aroma is bursting with citrus and grassy wheat, just great. The flavor is just fantastic! Big citrus, scallions, hints of garlic up front. The wheat body is crops and damn refreshing! World class hoppy wheat ale. Great!

The beer is a dull dark yellow color. Completely clouded over. Not bad looking, just a solid block of color. The head seems normal enough. It’s white and there’s no trouble in swirling up some bubbles. A bit hard to tell with a bar pour. Some bubbles coat the walls of the glass. The aroma is juicy with mandarin orange and pineapple. There’s some mango, mild grape, raspberry, kiwi, honeysuckle. Lots of pleasant hoppiness knocking around. Little malt character, just some moderately spicy wheat flavor. Moderate bitterness. Tons of hop flavor to the taste. Just deliciously hoppy. Big orange juice and tropical fruit flavors. Soft and pleasant with a bite of acid. Refreshing. Bright. Big hoppy finish. Pretty much no boring bland bitterness. Nice mineral note. Good stuff going on in the water chemistry. Mouthfeel is full but light. Very refreshing. Not much hop oiliness but it still coats the palate with flavor. Very easy to drink. I could go through a growler easily. Very good hoppy pale ale.
