Super hazy golden and light straw coloured body with a nice one to two centimetre tall pure whtie head that caps the beer nicely above the 90 per cent opaque yellow glow. Aroma of citrus fruit, light fructose and sugars with a slight herbal and grassy finish that shows some dryness as well and even a little tartness, too. Light to Medium-bodied; Crisp and pretty juicy, orangey flavours show at first with some nice wheatie and soft sweetness components, to go with the slightly bitter and dry hop and malty aspects here, but this finishes relatively straight-forward and pretty mild, with only a soft sweetness on the tail end. Aftertaste is pretty well-balanced with some fresh hops and fruit notes definitely noticeable, but also a kick of dryness, herbal flavours and some light bitterness on the end, makes this just a tad more robust. Overall, a pretty nice, relatively expected APA with a slight 'juicy' quality, but pretty easy-drinking and balanced throughout. Nice to try, pretty fresh and local-ish, in a good, not great beer that is quite drinkable! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Wegman's [grocery] in Alexandria, Virginia on 15-November-2022 for US$2,33 ($13,99/mixed six pack) canned on 24-May-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 25-January-2023.
