From can to glass. Pours clear light gold with white head. Overt melon and tropical fruit - really highlighted on the flavor. Really nice and clean.

Crisp clear copper and light bronze coloured body with a very thin pure white head that somehow stays on top for a long time. Aroma of very subtle hops with some light grass and hay with very little else - no real malt noticeable. Light-bodied; Very subdued and soft hop flavours come through with a dose of grassiness and flowers with a dry herbal bite, some very mild citrus fruits and not much else, aside from some mellow sugars and a touch of alcohol and breadiness at the end. Aftertaste doesn't show too much aside from some subtle grassiness with a light bitterness from the alpha acids, but no malts and no sweetness here, at least it goes down easily. Overall, a soft and very mellow beer that has some very light alpha acid notes and a crisp grassiness, but that's about it - nothing too strong here at all, which is disappointing, because all of their full IPAs have been nice, thus far. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Total Beverage in Thornton, Colorado on 08-May-2021 for US$2,55 sampled in my hotel room here in Estes Park, Colorado the following day on 09-May-2021.

355ml bottle. Clear, pale orangey, golden colour with average, frothy, hlaf-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of honeydew melon, pineapple, some peach, a touch of lychee, sweet-ish, pale malty background. Taste is sweet-ish, biscuity pale malty and tropical fruity, minimally citrusy and piney hoppy, notes of pineapple, hints of honeydew melon, a diluted touch of peach and apricot; dry, piney finish. Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, minimally prickly carbonation. Nice, refreshing Summer Ale.

Draught. Good looking beer with white head. Fruity hop aroma. Taste is all over the board, the rice was not good, and the hops seemed to clash, but then everything worked ok together. Pleasant finish.

Grunt fill from Albertsons. Medium golden, hazy, small skin of head. Soft hoppy aroma, floral notes, malts. Taste brings the hops up front, but not too powerful, more like a pale. Malt backbone shines through. More like a kiss on the cheek than a punch in the mouth.
