Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy semi-murky cardboard yellow coloe with a two and half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral, citrus, papaya and piney hops; light bready malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a bittersweet way; mild finish of citrus, floral and papaya
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability, low carb, pretty smoogh, and the DDH was done well
Overall: very nicely done APA worthy of returning to.

Canned 10/20/17, drunk 12/8 and 12/14/17.
Big haziness and a brassy-gold-maize colored body with a very large, white head that is well-retained.
Heavy, juicy, bright guava is backed by light cracker-like malt notes, neither of which show any sign of age. Lightens up somewhat, with lemon-pear and light mango through the middle. So soft, yet still bright and snappy with no resin or pine whatsoever.
In the mouth it's pure guava-nectarine with very slight melon hints. Impressive lack of almost any citrus. No resin or pine, just juice and light bitterness through and through. Soft, dry, malty with tight carbonation. No flaw or alcohol. Pretty damned nice.

Pours cloudy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Mango and papaya aromas. Sharp with tropical fruit and pine upfront turning dry bitter pith in the lasting infers.

Draft at the source, typical hazy yellow Appearance. Aroma is intense citrus and grass notes. Leafy green, whole Hop cones.
Very drinkable in the mouth. Green hop comes, grapefruit, grass and tangerine. Pale grain backbone from the malt. Good mouthfeel. No question this can be crushed!
