7.3
Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5

Poured from a 16 oz can dated January 15, 2025.
Aroma is dank and citrusy with lighter berry, guava and passion fruit notes. Lime, orange, and grapefruit with some oily diesel notes. Light cracker malt and lighter alcohol notes.
Pours a hazy, dull, golden straw color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Fairly high lacing and faint legs.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and rather light alcohol notes. Fairly fruity hop notes of guava, passion fruit and berry with lighter citrus notes. Lighter dank, oily resin notes.
Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid pale ale. Not my favorite hop aroma, but the flavor has a really nice fruity hop character. I like the dank aroma note, but the citrus was not my favorite. Balanced bitterness and sweetness, bit it could use maybe a touch more malt character and a bit less sweetness.

01/03/19, this is the fruitiest pale ale I've ever had, I think, it's light in mouthfeel but damn fruity and hazy, great juicyness for a pale ale.
