Very hazy golden and straw coloured body, about sixty per cent opaque with a thinnish, single to perhaps two centimetre tall pure white head that stays afloat fairly nicely. Aroma of grass, pine, flowers, light grain, wheat, citrus fruits and a good deal of soft, light yeast elements, but the hops through the pine and citrus are the strongest in the nose - in a good way. Light-bodied; Strong crisp grainy and citrusey notes with a light floral bite with some hop bitterness, a dry and grainy malt presence with a slight peppery bite and a touch of sweetness towards the end from the citrus fruits. Aftertaste shows a crisp bitterness, light sugars from the fruit, but a very pleasant grainy, dry malty quality that produces a nice balance and a pleasant complexity with soft hop bite that shows throughout. Overall, a nice and pungent APA with some specialty grain notes, but a dry, citrusey hop character produces a great balance and subtle complexity throughout. Nice to sample and a welcome escape from high alcohol and pungent beers with a crisp and well-structured beer overall. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 04-September-2020 for US$5,66 sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-October-2020.

Lime, with plenty of tang at the end. Lime juice vibe is strong. Hazy golden pour with good head. Tangy juice finish. Can.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated July 20, 2020. Aroma is hop forward and fruity with passion fruit, mango and tropical citrus with some lighter dank, resin notes. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a hazy, dull, golden straw color with a medium large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium to medium light bitterness and faint alcohol notes. Moderate hop notes of mango, passion fruit and tropical citrus. Lighter dank, resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty nice, hazy, hop forward pale ale. Solid patio beer.
