Draught at Freeport, 6/15/18.
Lightly hazy, blonde-brass-maize body is topped by a small, white head showing modest retention.
Citrus (grapefruit, lemon) is strong in the nose, but not hard and acidic. Lightly juicy yellow fruits seem to be a mix of hop and a lot of yeast ester. Honey-rich malts behind easily balance but don't seem too sugary. Clean and hoppy with some slightly sharp esters but no real problems.
In the mouth it's moderately bitter but growing sweet and estery with big melon notes balancing stronger grapefruit and orange notes. Softer yellow fruits keep things round and lighthearted enough here, while moderate carbonation is engaging enough to keep it somewhat brisk on the finish. Light biscuit and cracker but predominantly honey, from the malts, definitely keeps things soft overall. Good and fruity. Not full-on tropical juice like many in the style, but the softness and fruitiness is certainly there.
