Fruity with notes of honeydew melon, pineapple, grapefruit, undertones of strata berry coming through, oat laden creamy malts with a substantial mouthfeel and body, balanced bitter hoppy finish. Lovely drop.

hazy yellow, smooth white head.
aroma is hoppy and spicy, grapefruit, pine. Nice herbal hoppy spicy aroma.
flavor is even more spicy and herbal, with a very weirdo neipa like sort of bitternes and strange spicy malts. palate is crisp, not mineral watery but rounded and crisp, real nice. the flavor though is probably an acquired taste - remembers me about when i as a kid tasted beer for the very first time.. i came around later lol.

Draft: Poured a cloudy/hazy yellow color ale with a lacing foamy head. Aroma of juicy citrusy undertones with some hoppy floral notes. Taste is a smooth mix of citrusy and light tropical notes with some juicy hoppy notes. Body is full with a nice smooth texture and good carbonation. Solid pale ale even though wheat malt doesn’t show much.
