Pretty nice beer. Good fresh hops, and nice bitter body. Wish half these hazies around these days were half this good. Sharp pine and tangerine. Pours golden with good head. Bitter end that sticks for a bit. Can.

12 ounce can. Pours a clear golden hue with a medium white head. A soft toast and fruity nose. Light, clearly a pale, big perfume, juicy hops, a dry malty core. Amarillo gives it that juicy sticky core. Nice.

12 oz. Aroma is lemony, freshly cut grass, bready, floral. Pours hazy golden with thousands of little particles floating in suspension underneath a < one finger cap of bone white foam with decent retention. Taste has a moderate to high pithy bitterness with some sweet malt poking through just a little bit. Not bad, and thumbs up to them for not sticking the letters IPA on the label just to sell a few more cases.

Draught. Clear pour with white head. Orange and tangerine aroma. Medium body with some malt character. Light finish.
