Canned November 6th 2019. Ooops.

Pours a hazy orange gold with a massive head of foam. Lacing is good.

I get some fruity citrus notes in the smell along some caramel sweetness. The latter IS a bit off but considering the age of the beer and it was on a warm shelf, I will give it some leeway.

Yep, the taste reflects the age. Being a Pale Ale, I expected the hop level of bitterness would suffer, and it did; it's only 5% abv. There's some hint of of tropical fruit going on. I reckon that this would be quite good when fresh.

Good mouthfeel.

Hopefully, I will run into a fresh 6er at some point in the future.

Can, thanks to Iphonephan! Pours extremely hazy, like orange juice, with large foamy off-white head, citrus-mango-peach aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter orange-mango-peach taste, smooth body, long finish. Flavorful and easy to drink.

From a pint can. Pours a cloudy gold with an off white head. Grassy aromas. Flavors are moderately bitter dank hay.

Taster at Growler guys. Pale golden, hazy, wispy head. Aroma is slight. Taste also, faint citrus and hoppy notes. This is a session, not a hazy

On tap at the Boise brewery/taproom foggy yellow peach color with a scant wispy head. Light fresh hop flavors are floral and grassy. A bit like hay. Light and fresh but I don’t captures the classic “hazy” flavor profile.

On tap at the brewery pours out a hazy straw color topped with a white. Nose is nice citrus hops some melons and tropical fruit sweetness. Taste is more of the nice sweet tropical fruit hops and some citrus notes.
