Designed using a distinct combination of ingredients, and brewed to attain a sessionable ABV, Divine Shine is a uniquely drinkable beer that showcases a bright hazy appearance, tropical aromas, and a velvety smooth finish. To achieve this, we used a blend of oats, wheat, and barley as a base, and employed a throwback homebrew technique called Hop Bursting to let the divine aroma qualities of Mosaic and Galaxy hops shine, while leaving their bitterness behind.

12 oz from a six pack. BB 12/28/19. Aroma of citrus, pineapple, passionfruit. Pours murky orange-gold with a one finger bone white head with good retention. Taste is lightly bitter, lightly sweet with flavors of the aroma. Crushable and tasty.

Super hazy golden coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of grassy hops with a fresh hybrid/fake hop smell, showing a lot of alpha acids, some light sweetness and a bunch of fake malts as well, without glutens, it seems. Ultra-Light-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal character up front that shows a good deal of hoppiness from the grass, resin and light pine notes, but very little else, especially in terms of body. Aftertaste shows a touch of the citrus elements, but not much of anything else - some light hop notes showing some resin and pine, but that's about it - no real sweetness and absolutely no body from any malts at all, and what is there tastes like it is gluten-free or some specialty grains. Overall,a pretty poor beer unless you wanted something like this, but even then - there are much better options, ciders-included, that show some better characteristics without much of anything else. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Kona Wine Market in Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i [island] on 29-December-2018 for US$3,00 sampled in my hotel room here in Central Kona, Hawai'i [island] a few hours before leaving back for the East Coast of the USA on 04-January-2019.

Can at Safeco field for Pearl Jam. Slightly hazy golden color with a medium thin white head that burns away quickly to a film. Short strings of lace. Tropical fruit, hops and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hops, tropical fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can. As Divine Shine Hybrid Ale (label claims Blonde/ Hefe/ NW pale - but also describes it as having "a bright, hazy appearance"). Cloudy orange with a white head. A: Light bread and wheaty crackers, citrus bubblegum. and so it tastes, with some pepper at the end too. The finish is tidy enough that the 20IBU is enough. A pleasant quaffer.

On Tap foggy pale orange color with a scant fine white head. Soft pale and a little brwady in the malts, light bodied and a decent fresh tropical fruit hop flavor. Low bitterness. Pleasant. Under carbed and warm. Probably a local issue.

Can from Boise Co-op. Hazy, milky yellow, soft foamy head. Light fruity, citrus, bready aroma. Taste is also subdued, light grainy flavor, mild juicy notes, minimal bitterness. Quite refreshing though, nice summer beer.
