Mostly clear, but pretty light golden coloured body with a very thin pure white head that fades very quickly and leaves a soft layer on top after a few minutes. Aroma of light lemons and grassy, herbal malts with little else and a dry, funky yeast quality on the end with a little bitterness here, too. Light to Medium-bodied; Relatively straight-forward malt bite with some biscuity notes and finishing with a dash of pepper and some light grassy and resinous hop characteristics that bring out a noticeable bitterness and finishes with some slight sweetness and a more pronounced hop bitterness noticeable at the end. Aftertaste shows some enjoyable pungency at the end with a floral bite, but more bitter than sweet and robust throughout. Overall, a nice and enjoyable, relative easy-drinking beer with some noticeable bitterness and a light tropically sweetness, but good throughout and nice to try while here in town. I sampled this twelve ounce pour on draught at Union Stage in Washington on 15-September-2022 for US$9,00 sampled while listening to Enter Shikari here in Washington.

This definitely tastes more like a Belgian pale than a hazy. It's pleasant enough but maybe misguided or misinformed on what it's supposed to be? It's pleasant enough but as a Belgian table beer. Floral and some light citrus. Light sweet finish. Certainly not really a hop vibe here, and not even hazy in colour. Blonde pour. Tap at brewery.

Pint at the brewery pours a pulpy gold with some creamy white head. Nose has some malt and a bit of tea out of the gate, then a little tropical fruit, some pear. Flavor follows. It's a bit tannic. Not sure if it mashed hot or fermented hot. Kveik yeast maybe? There is some white cherry that makes me wonder. Creamy finish. 6 4 6 4 12
