Light amber, bright. Not much head. Sweet, muted hop character. Nice crackery malts...aiming on the malty side of balance with mellow hop fruits. Good beer though the description promised more hops

On tap at Optimism, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out notes of melon, papaya, and light piney hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with notes of melon upfront, lightly piney hoppiness, and dry biscuity malt. Effervescent and bright, but not particularly deep or complex. Solid.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy copper with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is citrus and pine. Medium body, grapefruit pith, pine needle, lingering bitterness, good.
