Poured from a growler. Aroma has a really nice fruit character with lots of tropical fruit and some light mandarin notes. Meidum light malt notes of cracker, biscuit and caramel. Some faint stone fruit. Pours a hazy, golden copper color with a smallish, medium thick head that recedes to clumps that linger on the edges. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with hints of caramel and light cracker and biscuit notes. Moderate bitterness. Moderate hop notes with tropical fruit and light citrus and stone fruit character. A light, floral spiciness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium light carbonation; this definitely lost a bit of carbonation but was nicely carbed. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice beer with good hop notes and a nice malt backbone. Rather fruity with a slight herbal note.

Growler. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges slowly. Aroma has notes of grass and light grapefruit with a good amount of bread and sweet grain backing. Flavor has notes of grapefruit and earthy pine with a sweet grain backbone.

Tap at the brewery. Hazy yellow color. This is a good example of the style; a style I am not crazy about and find kind of boring. Still, good hop profile and malt balance. Neither the flavor or aroma are very strong, but for a sessionable beer, no complaints.
