Poured from a 16 oz can dated February 2, 2021. Aroma is hop forward with tropical citrus, grapefruit, orange, mango, passion fruit and hints of stone fruit. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a fairly clear, brilliant gold color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers on the edges. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with moderate cracker malt notes and hints of caramel. Moderately strong bitterness and hints of alcohol. Moderately strong notes of orange, grapefruit and tropical citrus with hints of tropical fruit and stone fruit. Light pine resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid pale ale. Decent balance of hops, malt and bitterness. Could be a bit hoppier both in aroma and flavor.
