Pours a hazy yellow from a tap. Fruit punch and citrus aroma, some hay maybe, similar flavor, sweet upfront but finishes dry. Good beer.

Wineglass showing pale straw with sparse white foam. The nose shows moderately intense lemons and pineapple. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied with a clean and soft mouthfeel. Light and refreshing with clean notes of light lemon with an equally light malt backbone and no bitterness.

Clean burning, would be fantastic in the summer.

Growlette from brewery.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt yellow color with a slim finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light messy lacing all around the glass.
The smell started off with some sweet to bitter citrus rind and sliding over a fair amount of bitter piney-ness. As it warms, it starts to lean towards the lemon flavors.
The flavor embraces the piney and bitter citrus rind bitterness sort of harshness clinging to my tongue. Good amount of juiciness hits the bitteer qualities nicely. Quick bitter citrus rind aftertaste. Quick dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent dry clingy feel riding along my tongue.
Overall, really good American Pale Wheat ale, a bit juicier and has more bitterness than 3F’s Gumbalhead or Laggy’s Lil Sumpin Sumpin.

Draught at Atwood’s, 6/1/16.
Heavily cloudy, but intense waxen-yellow-gold with a medium-sized white head atop, showing strong retention.
Tons of varied citrus in the nose gives way to pineapple, light coconut (???) and sure, if they wanna say wood in the commercial description, I’ll buy that. This coconut thing is certainly very odd and somewhat unsettling, though (not as pronounced in the nose, however). No alcohol, despite this being a lot stronger than expected.
And there’s the light coconut in the nose, though it’s anything but light in the flavor. Combining with the pineapple notes, it honestly tastes VERY much like a pina colada. At first I thought it was toasted coconut added, then maybe toasted oak, then maybe just a weird infection? Honestly, I have no idea, and though the palate somewhat acclimates to it, it never really disappears. The texture is soft, wheat-driven and with ample, mostly tight carbonation. Strange, very strange.
