Super hazy golden and straw coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall just off-white head that fades slowly above the 85 per cent opaque body. Aroma of light grassy and herbal hops with a perfumey and almost honey/syrupy kick towards the end - very nice and aromatic in the nose. Medium-bodied; Pretty rich and balanced hops and malt hit together with a slight grassy and floral hop note at first with a slight dry and lemony kick towards the end that brings out the flowers and the honey sweetness at the very end. Aftertaste is still rich from all the malts, but they seem to go down like oat or wheat, but the sweetness (honey) and light alpha acids from the hops bring out a dash of bitterness at the end. Overall, pretty nicely balanced throughout with some nuances (like honey and lemons) that are unexpected, but a pretty good offering from Solace and one recommended for people who like New School IPAs! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's [grocery] in Short Pump (Richmond), Virginia on 23-July-2022 for US$2,33 (part of a mixed six pack), sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-August-2022.

16oz can pour, purchased from Solace Outpost. Poured a hazy yellow color with a medium white head. Aroma was big melon, juicy notes. Oaty. Creamy, pleasant apricot, orange. Nice stuff, kind of breaks a bit form the typical haze beer with some more melon aromas and flavors.

16oz can pours a pulpy yellow with some sudsy white head. Nose is good, creamy oats, apricot, peach cobbler, some melon. Flavors all follow, melon and orange sherbet, some Flintstones push pop, apricots. Finishes pillowy and off dry, but not heavy like others of the style. The ABV is a bit of a reprieve compared to other beers that clock in at 7%+.
