16 ounce can. Cloudy straw gold color. Frothy beige head. Citrus aroma hints at lemon and orange. Bready malt flavor upfront. Notes of lemon, orange and grapefruit. Soft, creamy mouthfeel from the oats and wheat. Some piney notes on backend.

Can: Poured a somewhat hazy bright pale yellow color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention. Aroma of dominant citrusy hops undertones with some dank notes is pretty enjoyable. Taste is dominated by citrusy hops notes with some dank hops undertones, light residual sugar notes and a dry finish. Body is pretty full for style with good carbonation. Solid APA.
