Hazy very light golden coloured body with a light raw honey and pale straw gold glow, all with a thin, single centimetre tall off-white head that fades very quickly to nothing on top. Aroma of grass, citrus, flowers, light candy and a lot of mango and melon notes, all with a good amount of alpha acids noticeable from the hops. Medium-bodied; Rich mango and especially melony (honeydew and cantaloupe) fruity flavours show through first, with a bunch of grass and dryness from the malt coming through, with a soft candy sugar and fruity candy sweetness at the end and a soft pungent bitterness from the alpha acids in the hops. Aftertaste shows a great balance of very pungent hops and a strong set of supporting malts, all with a great sweet bite, especially towards the end, with big fruit notes especially the mango and melon flavours. Overall, a nice, very fruity, but well-balanced, easy-drinking beer that hits the mark nicely and is robust, complex and sweet throughout. Great to sample locally and very fresh...nice from a new brewery (to me) and well-recommended if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Washington (Foggy Bottom, Eye Street NW), D.C. on 13-December-2020 (canned on 28 July 2020) for US$2,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 22-December-2020, just nine days later.

Tall can. Fairly clear light gold color, with a fluffy white head. Light citrus aroma. The flavor is lightly bitter with some tropical fruits and citrus. Easy drinking, not too over the top. I could do a few of these.
