7.6/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Poured from a 16 oz can dated March 09, 2022. Aroma is very hop forward with lots of gooseberry, passion fruit, tropical citrus and grapefruit notes with lighter dank, resin notes. Light grain notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a slightly hazy, pale yellow gold with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light grain notes. Moderate bitterness and faint alcohol notes. Moderate notes of passion fruit, tropical citrus, grapefruit and lighter notes of gooseberry. Light dank, resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid hoppy lager. Really great hop notes on the aroma with a solid, crisp body. A bit less hop flavor, but balanced bitterness and malt notes carry the beer well. Very easy drinking.

Light dank, resin notes. Pours a somewhat hazy, dirty, brownish orange with a medium large, fairly thick, pillowy white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Medium lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly strong hop notes of dank, oily pine resin that lingers on the finish. Lighter notes of passion fruit, melon and citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation.
