Yellow hazy coloration. Aroma of citra, lemon, malt. Taste has hop oil, obvious blend, slightly resinous bite on top of a simple malt layer. Palate has lingering pine resin. Good.

No date coding on the can. Aroma shows resin, citrus, malt. Flavor has overtones of pine with a sweet malt backbone. Overall, good flavor but pretty run of the mill.

Can pour into nonic pint glass. Appearance is hazy greenish-yellow-orange-light-brown with decent sparkle, 2-finger width rocky foam head with good retention and nice sticky, soapy lacing. Aroma is strong sweet citrus and tropical fruit with light candied sugar, background cereal malt. Taste is strong tropical fruit, citrus, hint of herb. Palate is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, average-to-lively carbonation and mostly sweet with light bitter balance finish. Overall, despite being 4 months old (so less-than-fresh), this had strong hop aroma/flavors and fair complexity. Looking forward to trying others from this brewer.

On tap at Black Bear Saloon BDL. Cloudy medium orange under a small white head that fades gradually to a sheet and leaves tight lace. Nose is tropical fruit and citrus with orange peel, pineapple and mango prominent. Light sweet malts under a medium bitter middle and finish. Mouth is medium- slick with a lingering bitter finish. Just a bit thinner than I hoped. 8/4/8/3+/16
