Aroma of hops, fruit and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of earthy hops, caramel malt and fruit. The finish is moderately bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Hazy golden, light brown and almost a muddied brown coloured body with a smallish, one to two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of citrus, lemons, bright floral and very pungent resinous hops that shine through with a lot of alpha acids noticeable. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong citrusey hops show at first with a tiny bit of orange juice and a little lemon zest as well with a good deal of perfume and resinous notes, with a good and supportive malt backbone and a touch of cleanser at the end. Aftertaste is very crisp, super refreshing and providing a lot of flavour and depth for such a relatively low alcohol percentage, but the flavours are nice and enjoyable and quite strong. Overall, sort of a blend of a hazier IPA with a Light IPA which makes this very nice in the summertime here in Montana - a nice example of both, and while it's somewhere in the middle, it's perhaps twice as nice. Try to find this if you find yourself in Montana in the Summer! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Super One Foods in Kalispell, Montana on 26-July-2020 for US$1,67 sampled in my hotel room here in Missoula, Montana on 28-July-2020.

355ml can. Pours a hazy orange-amber with a medium, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of cracker malt, tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, mango and herbal hops. Sweet fruity flavour of cracker malt, mango, apricot, orange, tangerine, grapefruit and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Juicy and easy to drink.
