Light gold pour. Nice blonde beer. Thin foam. Fruit and wheat hop nose. Pineapple, melon, and apple subdued flavor. Nicely mixed with a sweet hop palate

Subtle lemongrass nose. Hazy yellow, thin head. Lilly, new plastic, lemon zest. Apricot finish. Citrusy and not in your face. Surprisingly complex but very sessionable.

4 week old can A: Pours a sallow pale hazy yellow with a short, coarse head that fell rapidly. S: Muted sweet cake and lemon soda scent. T: Flavor lacks depth though some wheat cracker mingles with gentle citrus and tropical fruit notes. Not quite but almost seltzery. M: Lively carbonation, light crisp, and very clean dry and crushable. O: OK but ultimately disappointing. I know it's a summer pool beer but this type of flavor can be had from a 3.8% low-cal beer. I expect much more from a 5.4% APA.
