Soft, smooth mouthfeel that is vibrant with hops. Hazy and heavenly. Notes of orange creamsicle, candied Meyer lemon, fresh papaya + mango.

Can from my father: pours yellow opaque haze. Aroma is grapefruit along with some piny notes. Taste is not super bitter. Lightly sweet. Easy to drink.

Can pour. Appearance is opaque light yellow (grapefruit juice) with no discernible sparkle, a few white floaties and yeast tubes at the bottom of the glass, finger-width foamy white head with poor retention and fair leggy lacing. Aroma is strong grapefruit and citrus. Taste is nice mix of strong grapefruit, citrus and pineapple rind, absolute mildest hint of herb. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, a nice mix of classic hops (this one had Summit vs. Chinook) with a taste that was likely all the rage 5 years ago but holds up well.

16oz can pours a pulpy lemon yellow with some sudsy, white head. Nose has lemon balm, orange, herbs, honey, oats. Flavor is nice, pithy and herbal, malt, honey, a little lemon soda. Full bodied, bitter finish. A foot in two worlds.

Can, from Nikki's @ Providence, RI. The can omits 'Horn' in the name, and the explanation is different (with Citra, Summit, Azacca & Chinook hops), but I'm assuming there wouldn't be too many beers named 'Veridian'. Pours hazy bright yellow with large foamy light beige head, citrus peel aroma, yellow precipitates sinking down, though the can is stamped 2 weeks ago (?), low carbonation, smooth lemon and very light malt taste, very smooth body, long finish. Well balanced, and smooth; very easy to drink.

Draught at the brewery, 5/26/18.
Moderately hazy, very pale, lemon-golden. White head settles out at cover.
"Bitter" pine in the nose is quite sharp and strong, though softened somewhat by fruity yeast and moderate nectarine and light melon. No alcohol but rather twangy and forceful.
Bitter initially, showing tons of white grapefruit and pine. Cracker malts do little to soften or balance. Resin takes hold and it remains too dry, stark and acidic with austere pine, grapefruit and lemon providing no juice, softness or comfort (or much interest, really). Engaging carbonation and very high attenuation. No alcohol or flaw noted.

12 fl oz can. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a white head. Aroma is peachy and grapefruity. Crisp hoppy and smooth fruity. Lingering hoppy and peachy into the far finish.
