Glowing orange with a firm white head. Quite full of citrus and floral goodness. Flavor is similar to the bright aroma with a light nudge of toasted malt. Very fresh fruit and tropical overall. Quite refreshing. A real nice session brew.

12 oz can gifted by Tcon. Thanks! I can’t believe you didn’t crush every one of these cans from the pack. I probably would have. This is delicious. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a ton of head and lace. Very nice full flavor of hops and light lemon. Solid.

12 oz. can, courtesy of Prufrockstar (thanks a lot, Chris), pours a cloudy orange-tinted yellow with a medium white head. Aroma brings out loads of floral hops, light tropical fruits, and zesty citrus. Flavour is rather dry, with dry floral hops, biscuity malt, and some citrus. Not the most exciting or pronounced flavours, but well-balanced and dry. Solid stuff.

Can from Malt & Vine. Pours translucent gold with a foamy white head. Aroma of green grassy/herby hops. Med + body. Flavor is herb/grass over pale malt. This is a light beer, carbohydrate wise, but pretty heavy on the hop. Which seems to be a mix of pine and citrus after thinking about it. No real hop burn, but there seems to be a hoppy oiliness in the mouth. It cannot be, but I’ll posit this is as hoppy as many DIPAs and more than many IPAs. Amazing for such a low ABV ale.

Aroma has moderate cracker and pale malt background. Moderate hop character with citrus and tropical fruit being most dominant but with a fairly strong resin note as well. Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold with a big white head that has moderately good retention. Moderately high lacing and faint legs. Flavor starts with slightly sweet cracker and biscuit notes. Moderate hop notes with citrus and tropical fruit well balanced. Moderately strong pine resin note. Bitterness is also moderately strong. Finish has another cracker malt resurgence along with a light lingering resiny bitterness. Faint fruitiness in finish as well. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Faint astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall a very enjoyable pale ale. Nice light malt character with a good assertive bitterness. The hop character could be a bit brighter but this balance allows for a good make character which is more to style. I could definitely drink a few of these.
