Tap at the brewery. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Tropical aroma. Juicy and a tad sweet. Medium body. Lightly bitter. Melon and passion fruit.

On tap at Tap That!, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Nose seems like old hops, tropical pith, some chalk… ugh. Flavour is reasonably hopped, with earthy hops, a touch of hopburn, and stone fruit pith. Even AleSmith can't do this shitty style that well. It's drinkable but pretty pointless and rough.

Hazy pale yellow colour, minimal off-white head; aroma and taste of pine resiny, grapefruity, some tropical fruity and grassy notes; not bad

Can. Pretty much opaque orange with a dense inch of white head. Aroma of pineapple, vague citrus, chewed crackers. 7- More vibrant hoppy taste with cotton wool behind. The pineapple and punchier citrus are nice but the finish is more astringent than bitter. Some good elements but they're fighting each other. Not that flash.

Pint can from Total Wine Gainesville, VA, 9/28/22. Hazy orange, large white head, good retention. Aroma of mango, pineapple, toasted malt. Taste is mango, pineapple, hint of lemon. Juicy, mild bitterness. Nice.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Pale blond colour, hazy. The aroma is mix tropical and citrus zest. The mouthfeel is quite dry, smooth, with some wheat/oats flavour, and the hopping is mostly citrus peel, bitter grapefruit, short of being juicy because of the lack of sugar.
It tastes like a once-good beer, when fresher.

Pretty competently done for a hazy made by west coast OGs. But then again, West Coast OGs always make hazies better than hazy breweries can make west coasters. Pineapple and orange peel. Good citrus and good fruit. Hazy golden pour with good head. Clean finish. Can thanks to Carlos.
