The beer is a fairly orange yellow color. Soapy white head. Lots of lacing. Interesting hop flavors in the aroma. Melon, pineapple, grape, pine, mild tangerine. It’s light and sweet with a spicy dank undertone. Not as much citrus as a lot of hops, so it seems less juicy. Very light malt character. Just some crackery sweetness. Taste is fairly dry. Lots of nice hop flavor comes through in the taste. A bit danker and spicier. Melon and pine. Light mouthfeel. Easy to drink. Very refreshing.

On tap at Cellarmaker. It pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma has some light tropical fruit with a little orange and grapefruit. The flavor is bready with light spicy hops, grass and grapefruit. Snappy on the palate. Not as much fruit as the Southern Passion. Dry finish with a little more grapefruit and orange. Good.

On tap at good karma Pale cloudy grass nose is very floral like hibiscus and lavender with a lot of grassy hay. I really enjoyed this. the melon notes were pretty big and it’s a memorable beer.

Late night pour from a growlier thanks to Nolen! Doing a little ratiing from memory here. Pours hazy pale golden with a medium off white head that leaves good lacing on the glass. Aroma is piney, dank, earthy, a bit tropical passionfruit. Flavor is similar, minimal sweetness and a light bitterness. Light body and a bit watery. Good for an APA, but a bit light on the palate.
