Can. Hazy gold beer small pale cream colour head. Light palate, good minerally crisp bite. Light malts, a little creamy sweetness. Very nice Citra hop drop in this brew. Bright orange - tangerine - mandarin. Traces of lemon and yellow grapefruit. A smooth piney hop runs throughout. Finishes crisp with a little hop spice emerging. Some citric peel in the linger. Nice job. Very drinkable.

Can sourced from Best Of Beers - hazy golden yellow with a white head. Tasty notes of passion fruit, grapefruit, gooseberry, citrus lime and lemon on the nose, nice juiciness going on, substantial mouthfeel, medium body, no leg balanced bitterness into the lingering hoppy finish. Very nice.

Can from Berkeley Bowl West. Pours hazy, lightly dirty gold with a somewhat creamy white head. Aroma is quite juicy - mostly citrus. It is rather lush. The citrus is not exactly orange zest, but seems close. Drier than many NEIPAs; lots of citrus fruit hop; a little more than moderately bitter. The total is more than the sum of the parts I can parse out. Mouthsmackingly nice.

16 ounce can. Pours a hazy orange hue with a small white head. A big pulpy fresh citrus nose. Sweet, soft, lots of orange juice, some light bitterness. Pretty fresh, almost a raw element, very cool label. Solid.
