Hoppy. Hazy. Crushable. This Hoppy Little Thing is bursting with juicy, tropical flavors and resinous notes from a blend of El Dorado®, Cascade, Simcoe®, and Crystal hops. Keep the flavor up with a beer that’s down for anything.

Can. Cloudy orange with a large white head. Aroma of lemon rind, pineapple, crackers. Slightly chalky but pretty light bodied. Very fruity with a citrus top note, some pineapple and peach. A little astringency but the end is all snappy bitterness. Refreshing.

Pretty well rounded. Low bitterness, notes of white grape, gin, botanicals, pine needles, pale malt, lemon rind. Interesting, enjoyable.

Can from Raynville Superstore. It pours hazy lemon yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is juicy, sweet, tangy, candied lemon, pineapple chunks, yellow plum and lemon curd sandwiches. The taste is smooth, slightly green, floury bread, lemon curd, mango, pineapple, nectarine, boiled sweets, plum and starburst with a soft finale. Average body and soft, fluffy carbonation. Easy going fruity number. Decent.

Can from Sprouts in Woodland, CA. Pours hazy gold with a large creamy white head. Aroma has lots of citrus - even grapefruit rind notes. Med body. Flavor has a hint of something like oats/spelt. Otherwise mostly citrus for me. Pleasing flavor.

3 week old can
A: Chalky yellow with a tall lasting white head and clumps of lace.
S: Light aroma of pineapple, lemon lime citrus and wafer cookie.
T: More bitter than sweet, more citrus than tropical plus floral notes and light lingering bready sweetness.
M: Crisp and light with spritely carbonation and no hop burn.
O: Hops are fairly generic but the sweetness is restrained, making for nice balance.
