Can. Slightly hazy amber beer with a cream head. Light grapefruit aroma. Light grapefruit and light pine flavor with light lemon. Medium bodied. Grapefruit and light pine linger.

Gentle and easy-drinking, but lacking much of a soul. Offers up mild notes of grapefruit zest, lychee, and passion fruit, then fades into a nondescript middle before yeast, pine, and a slight grainy sweetness pop up on the finish. Not bad, but a little too mild for my pale ale druthers.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours bright, brassy gold with a foamy white head. Aroma of citrus/pine and roasty malt. Med body. Flavor matches aroma. Nicely bitter. Quite clean. Very tasty. Hint of tropicals in the finish. Mango seltzer thing? Good drink in any sense.
