Poured from the tap (2023 vintage). Clear golden orange with small white head. Caramel and biscuit malt with mild perfumey pine hops. Quite old school in style, okay.

Can: Poured a clear golden color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of piney and citrusy hops is interesting. Taste is dominated by citrusy and piney hops notes with light bitterness. Body is about average with good carbonation. Missing some hops punch and finish is too watery.

Golden body and a slight bit of creamy head. Soft funky peach aroma with vague grain hints. Flavour is floral hops with fruit hints. Kind of sweet and perfumy and sweet. Did I already say that? Medium finish. Man it's raining hard here now. Makes me miss the snow of the north.

Slight upgrade in 2017.
Light haze, thin head, light tan colour. Not much aroma, maybe a subtle light fruitiness. The malts offer little, just flabby sugars. The hops of course are not used in anywhere near enough quantity - fresh hops require truly heroic quantities to make an impact. Ends up bland, an unsuccessful experiment, especially next to the much more accomplished Dude Chillin that came out at the same time.

On tap at R & B, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is fairly restrained, with leafy hops and biscuity malt. Flavour has a rather vegetal quality to the hops at first, but transitions to a more leafy quality, backed by a dry biscuity malt backbone. Nothing special, but it's fresh and drinkable. Solid but underwhelming.

Doesn't smell good, and the taste is green, some vegetables.
2016-09-26, draught at the brewery taproom, 6-3-7-3-13=32
Cloudy golden color. The aroma is very mild, a bit earthy. Nice Pale malts flavor, not too dry, with tickling carbonation, good bitterness level, but the green hops are not bright, rather they have a mild green grass character, followed by some more classic Centennial resins.
A good beer per se, but as it happens too often, the fresh hop is not impressive, it doesn't deliver.
