Hazy and pale, medium head. Decent sweet malt, medium bitterness. It's not bad, even at sub-peak freshness.

Light, hazy yellow, large white head. Bright, soft, light citrus nose, light cereals. Soft mouth feel, solid carb. Medium to low bitterness, lots of soft citrus, a great session pale ale.

Can that pours a hazy, golden colour with an amber hue. The head is big, frothy, somewhat creamy, whitish with good retention and thicker foamy lacing. Great aromas of fruity tangerines with some herbal hops coming out with time. Hints of wood even show up. The mangoes come out in the flavours with some decent dryness in the finish. Not getting much from the West Coast style, except a touch of greener-woody hops, but not piney. A very nice, refreshing, juicy IPA with good citrus, fruity and dry notes.
One of their best beers. On the safe side. A good beer but simple. To fam beers Again at brewery one year later. Same

Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, tangerine, mango, coconut, floral, earthy yeast and piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, peach, mango, earthy yeast, oats and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Juicy and enjoyable.
