A well balanced organic hazy pale ale. Notes of tropical fruit, papaya and mango from the Mosaic, Simcoe and Citra dry-hops. Malted wheat and oats give this beer its smooth, creamy mouthfeel. It finishes with hints of sweet malt and caramel giving it that balanced backbone.

473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves sticky curtains of soapy lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, mango, peach, earthy yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, grapefruit peel, apricot, pineapple, earthy yeast and piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a thick, velvety texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and crushable. Exceeded my expectations.

Cloudy yellow, small white head. Big stone fruit nose, citrus notes. Similar subdued palate. A bit watery, with brief medium bitter finish

Lots of rich citrus here. Comes off nicer than a lot of hazies I've had recently in western Canada. A little green onion but it's light. Hazy yellow pour with pretty good head retention, and good lacing. Clean finish with just a little hop tang. Can.

Nice yellow body and very good white foam, earthy pineapple and piney hops on the nose. Flavour is soft pineapply hops, rather subtle and lacking character. Okay dry mouthfeel. Passable but hardly interesting.

On tap at Broken Hill in Nelson, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle stone fruits, citrus hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is rather chalky, with some dank hops, biscuity malt, and chalk. Too chalky and muffled. Meh.
