A healthy dose of 2-row malted barley, a bit of wheaty-esque-ish-ness and loads of Ekuanot hops to create a super smooth and velvety ale with a fruit and resin-y- finish like biting into a freshly picked peach. Easy!

Can pour into shaker pint glass from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Appearance is lightly hazy, pale yellow with greenish tinge (urine-like), with trace sparkle, fizzy, finger-width white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is bready malts with lemony citrus hops, fruit, light resin. Taste is biscuit with mango, lemon citrus, melon. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, surprising amount of hop presence in the flavor given this was old (6 months), but maybe that's why it was not particularly bitter either, which is fine by me.

4 oz. draft at The Grog, Newburyport, MA. Crystal clear piss appearance. Aroma is mild wheat, mild citrus, subtle yeast. No surprise in the flavor. Low bitterness with a mild citrus finish.
See a theme here? It is mild. A tad thin bodied. But it is acceptable for a day at the beach, out on the boat, or mowing the lawn. Clean and simple.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours gold with a foamy frothy head. Aroma is earthy/tropical/citrus/pine. Med body or so. Flavor is moderate earthy/tropical/citrus/pine. Caramel support is detectable. Not roasty for me tho. This is pretty hoppy. Nicely bitter. Not at all harsh. Not entirely dry. A bit high ABV for a session ale tho.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 12/19/2017. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/zest, pepper, pine, wheat, biscuit, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, wheat, biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 5.7%. Overall this is an excellent American pale ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish, never aggressive. Apparently all Ekuanot hops, which are a top favorite of mine. Great balanced juicy and dank hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

On Tap foggy dull light orange. Modest sticky white head. Nice clean citrusy up front hop aroma. Dry and bready pale malt body. Squeaky clean piney and floral hop flavors. Dry finish.
