Can thanks to Randy. Pours a cloudy orange with medium white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is strong lemon zest and earth. Medium body, juicy, lemon, pineapple, earth, light bitterness, very good.

Draft at RnH West. Murky light orange color with a sheeting white head that leaves some moderate lacing. Aroma is fruity, kind of fruit punch / red fruit type thing. On the sweet / artificial side, but not in a bad way. Drinks nicely, slightly on the sticky side. A touch thin too. I'd probably prefer a touch more of a bitterness, but it's a nice beer.

Canned 10/1/16, drunk 10/29/16.
We seem to get all of their cans here in Boston and even though they’re always a few weeks old (I actually bought this without knowing, since the canning date was illegible, but looked it up), they’ve been fairly worthwhile so far.
Large white head is slow to recede atop a moderately hazy, brassy-gold, lime-tinted body.
Mossy, lime and mineral-accented hops in the nose are backed by light honey and biscuity malts. As it warms and breathes, plentiful watermelon, almost Tree House-like enters in the mix, quite pleasantly. Light earthiness, some very minor resin and grapefruit but by and by pretty damned good for four weeks old (having sat warm I think!).
Reading the reviews, it sounds like this one actually needed some time to relax and dry out. It has very nicely and the strong watermelon character is charming on top of light honey and biscuity malts with low but engaging carbonation and little/no alcohol or resin. Moderate bitterness and lots of dank, green character with lime and grapefruit lingering, as well.

Thanks Paul for the can! Poured into a taster showing well filtered neon yellow with sparse white foam lacing. The nose shows lemon and light cannabis. The palate is medium bodied and lightly carbonated. Moderately intense flavors of melon with a light bitterness.
