Crisp copper and bronze coloured body with a deeper golden tint and a smallish, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of crisp grain, light citrus-fruits, a dose of resinous and grapefruity hops with a dash of flowers and dry herbs on the end - very nice, especially for the style and the lower alcohol content. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours dominate with a strong dry and resinous note from the hops, with a very mild malt note, some sweetness from fruits and a light bready finish - nice and robust. Aftertaste shows the hop characteristics, a dash of grain and a light sweetness from fruits and light herbs with a grassy finish at the end. Overall, a nice and robustly flavoured beer that still goes down very easily, yet has a good profile and good hop flavours throughout. Nice to sample, if you are looking for a ful-flavoured APA! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Harris Teeter in Pentagon Row (Arlington), Virginia on 02-November-2019 for US$1,87 sampled in my hotel room here in Newport News, Virginia on 16-November-2019.

12oz bottle. Poured a clear golden color with a small off-white head. Aroma was mild tropical fruit notes, lots of herbal and malt notes. Light citrus, mango, guava is mild here. It’s okay - I expected more fruity notes based on the name, but it was light and refreshing enough.
