Rolls as bright and clean as a Pilsner, while cutting a hoppy swath of citrus zest and tropical fruit aromas. Not every occasion commands a massive hop bomb assault on your sensibilities. Sometimes you find if you’re sporting the Big Guns, that’s all you need.

Draft at the source. Hazy pale gold, white head. Citrus, pine, caramel. Good balance. Nice.

Draught. Pleasant citrus hop aroma. Clean taste, hop and malt in balance. Not much finish, just a little hoppiness. This just packed up and left.

Can from Brewers Haven. Pour is a golden straw color, lightly hazy, and about an inch of fluffy white head. Smells good enough with citrus and tropical fruits, a little bit malty sweet. Flavor is malty and sweet, minimal hoppy bitters. More citrus and a little pine. A little more emphasis on malts than ideal for me, still still has that insane drinkability that I love about this style. Artwork on the can is pretty sweet too.

Can shared at the MDBG tasting 4/4/16. Clear golden, thin foamy offwhite head. Aroma of dry citrus, tropical fruit, resin, pepper pale malt. The taste is pine, resin, lime, tropical fruit, pale malt. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness.

Can from Brewers Haven. Light haze on this golden body, small airy head. Hoppy aroma, citrus, grapefruit. Taste is mildly astrigent. This could easily pass off as an APA as well. Without the hops, the makings if a decent pils lies within.

Can from Malt and Vine. Pours light gold with a white head. Aroma is zesty with some melon/mango touches. Med body almost. Flavor is zest, barely detectable malt and some fruits that seem tropical. Mango? Rather light in flavor, but appropriate for the sessionable low ABV. Good stuff with a nice bitter finish.

12 oz can from a six pack bought at some place in Seaside, OR. A couple months old. Aroma is lemon, latex, minerally. Pours slightly hazy golden with a bone white head with good retention and some lace. Kind of thin. Medium bitterness. Tastes good but pretty simple from a glass. I was more impressed drinking it straight from the can.

Can - Nice citrus peel, orange and lemon with a touch of skunk. Clear gold with a decent white head. Nice citrus and hoppy notes, a bit faded but I think this would taste better fresh. Still good though.

Big thanks to douglas for this gem, its right up my alley! It is very rare and its big time on style! Big time IPA blast from the start. Session or not, it’s so big time on style ruder than rude nasty Nellie fer sure. Go figger. Actually every occasion commands a massive alky hop bomb assault on your sensibilities, so why must I endure rude ipa effects without the alky, I ask? Well, I heard its because oily intense hops have a medicinal beneficial effect on the human body? In hindsight, could use more of that touted effervescent effect. If you like IPA, flip my numbers, heheh! BTW, the label on this can is so cool, I’m gonna give it +0.1!

Very pale yellow with a white head. Mostly lemon in the aroma with light dough sweetness. Watery body. Flavor is again mostly lemon and other mild citrus notes. Medium, clean bitterness on the finish. Not a lot going on but this would make for a nice Summer session.
