16oz can from Brewers Haven. Hazy golden pour, short lived foamy head. Aroma is cucumber, soursop, prickly pear. Taste leads with more cucumber flavors, cilantro, pear. Bready malts support all this flavor with a nice creamy texture.

On tap at Aslan Depot, pours a hazy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out doughy malt, gentle grassy hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is fresh, with grassy hops and doughy malt. Smooth, fresh and doughy, with a clean finish. Good stuff.

4oz shared with Phill and Matt after Zwanze 2022. Appearance: hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: a bit dirty, some straw, grassy. Taste: along the same Iines. Overall: another example that most of the fresh hop beers are useless.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/16/2019. Pours moderately hazy deep golden/orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, watermelon, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, watermelon, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, watermelon, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.7%. Overall this is an excellent hazy American pale ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and fairly crisp to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Great soft feel and not aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great Wakatu, Hallertau Blanc, and Fresh Citra profile. Very vibrant, juicy, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great Vienna/Wheat malt backbone for the ABV. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive session style example. No complaints.
