Cask pint at Toronado in San Francisco, California. The pour is a slight haze golden copper with a cask foamy head that lasts. The aroma is grass and soft floral hop. Very fresh nose. The taste is really gentle, with great balance between a soft cereal cracker malt and the floral, softly fruit sweet, hop. There is more grass to the pleasantly lingering finish. The palate is light bodied with a soft natural cask body and a crisp, dry, super clean finish. Really nice.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours translucent orange/gold with a slight, transient white head. Aroma is mixed fruits - mostly citrus, with some pale malt support. For 3.9% it surprisingly wants to be dank. Flavor is light malt supporting citrus/pine, floral, and seemingly green melon. Lots of flavor considering the ABV. In the finish there's an unusual flavor reminding me of wild rice.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated March 17, 2020. Aroma is hop forward with quite a bit of grapefruit, pine and dank, resin notes with hints of tropical fruit. Faint cracker malt notes. Pours a slightly hazy, pale, dusty, golden straw color with a fairly large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly but steadily to a small, thin film that lingers. Moderate lacing and no legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt and grain notes. Medium light bitterness and no alcohol spice. Medium light hop notes of grapefruit pith, pine and dank resin notes. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty nice pale ale. A solid hop profile with a nice, light malt character. Easy drinking and very crushable.
