Bottle drunk 1/12/19.
Minimally hazy, soft-hued golden with a small, reasonably well-retained, white head atop.
Wow that is one soft nose. Fuzzy apricot-nectarine and hints of mango and very light pine/grapefruit adding the only assertive notes. Fresh chico yeast regardless of the style and moderate amounts of hone and biscuit from the malt. No alcohol or flaw.
Soft, lightly fruity, lightly citric and incredibly round and moderately malty. It's so soft and light. There's almost nothing here though it's pleasantly clean and fruity with very light juiciness.

Bottle from the mixed 12 pack from Hannaford Slightly hazy light golden color with a bubbly white head. Lots of juicy citrus and light earth and pine against a bit of bready maltiness. It ain't for the juice bros, but its a pretty tasty beer.

Pours hazy yellow into a shaker. Bright white soapy head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Slightly skunked resin and tropical fruit aromas. Soft with sourdough and biscuit upfront turning to mild earthy resin in the medium length finish.
