Clear and dry golden and orange coloured body with a thinnish off-white head that is microfoamed, but leaves a nice head on top. Aroma of grass and very floral hops with a great alpha acid bitterness in the nose and some tropically and citrusey fruits with a light touch of flowers and alcohol at the end. Medium-bodied; Strong rich malts dominate with a lot of grassy and floral notes with some dry graininess and yeast elements, but the hops and especially the alpha acid and bitterness dominates here in a great way with a floral bite at the end and some citrus fruits as well. Aftertaste shows the grassy and citrusey notes with a light hit of sweetness from the fruits and some caster sugar, but the hops and bitterness dominate here in a great way with a pleasant and almost mouth-watering finish. Overall, a very nice beer with a great fresh hop profile that shows a lot of grasses, tropical and citrus fruits and a touch of flowers at the end, all with nice sweetness and bitterness. Great to sample, especially very fresh from the brewpub, just a few minutes later. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the brewpub in Napa, California on 01-April-2021 for US$5,50 sampled a few minutes later while ordering pizza from Filippi's Pizza Grotto here in Napa, California on 01-April-2021.

Can at home thanks to brokensail for shipping. Milky yellow orange appearance with a white head. Smells like a mango smoothie with a bit of piney spiciness and a ton of tropical fruit. Mild bitterness. Fairly chewy. Dry. A little bit of green herbal and pine flavors. Great beer!

On tap at the brewery. It pours a hazy pale yellow color with a small white head. The aroma is an interesting blend of fruit punch and dank. Hints of grapefruit. The flavor is more grapefruit forward. Citrusy with medium dank bitterness. Nice, smooth mouth feel. Good one.

First review of the beer! Tap at Harry’s in San Jose. Overt orange with sweet malt backing. Hazy yellow-gold with creamy white head and moderate patterns on glass. Flavor is orange and citrus. A slightly biting bitterness shows late. Creamy mouthfeel and easy drinking.
