Tap. Pours very hazy golden orange, large creamy white head, dissipates slowly, good lacing. Aroma is melon, tea, kind of vegetal. Flavor is medium sweet, a bit odd, melons and hints of green tea. Medium plus body, creamy mouthfeel. Lingering bitterness.

Draught at Tap 25, 5/26/17.
Light-to-minimal haze in this blonde-golden beer with a medium-sized white head showing moderate retention.
Lightly floral with soft citrus (meyer lemon, ripe lime and orange). Cracker and biscuit-like malts behind do their thing and the beer is aromatically juicy with light tropical touches. Mild pine, wood and other more dry, austere notes linger on the finish, but it doesn’t become resinous. Alcohol well-concealed, no flaw.
Quite juicy in the mouth with strong, expansive carbonation and tons of malt texture; very biscuity and dry, though not too much so, leaving just a trace of honey on the finish which easily balances the low bitterness and easygoing citrus and light tropical character from the hops. Slightly abrupt finish, lots of eaerth, dough, biscuit getting in the way, though certainly not offensively so. Very light citrus and floral character lingers.

Growler share.
My portion was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt copper/orange color with a fairly darker coloring closer to the center. Finger’s worth of white foamy head tops the glass. Dissipated evenly leaving some sliding lace.
The aroma started off with a blend of floral/grassy features flowing over some tropical fruitiness. Some maltiness shows up.
The flavor seems to take the hops and the malts to resound sweetly and then the bitterness level seems to just sit in the background on this one. Aftertaste and finish seem to be the same combination of hops and malts leaning to the sweet side.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fair sipping quality about it. ABV feels appropriate. Good carbonation.
Overall, though this evolution series is quite but this didn’t seem to be much different than the last one.
