16 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 8/14/19. Hazy amber, large foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of caramel malt, floral and earthy hops. Taste is grain, caramel, earth, lime, citrus, tea leaves. Medium bodied, moderate bitterness. Decent.

Sampled from the tap at the Lincoln taproom. Pours a clear light gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has dank tropical fruits with light citrus rind and light sweet grains underlying. Flavor has dank tropical fruits with an earthy citrus and a hint of grain backing.

Draft at Mariano’s, Westmont. A little hazy, but clearer than the Reactor I rated yesterday. Very thin ring of foam, bright brassy gold color. Nose is big on cat box Amarillo or other Pacific hops, with the usual pine resin in the background. Taste is the expected big slap of hops, Alcohol is kind of noticeable, and it’s much more of an American Pale than an IPA. There’s a note of blonde ale malt and sweetness toward the end. Another victim of Half Acre’s hop madness.

Aromas are Fresh hops with citrus, a little pine resin and caramel malt. Flavors are like nose, sweet up front with a decent bitter finish. Good carbonation, body and finish. Nice beer.

16oz can. I wouldn't say this is in the middle of the style spectrum, this is quite juicy. Big peach tone, I'd guess Mosaic or maybe even Mandarina...big juicy tones nonetheless. One of the better Half Acre beers I've had in recent memory, certainly one of the better canned offerings. A reminder that Mosaic is awesome. Great beer.
