Pint can pours with a crystal clear amber to deep copper colored body that supports a tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up malts, pine hops, a dash of berry to melon and then a citrus hop sensation toward the end of the draw. The taste delivers a subtle malty backbone with thin crystal malt likes nuances supporting a little less subtle hoppy goodness. I get some thin citrus hoppy bite and bigger tangy to juicy notes. Behind those are mild berry to faintly melon to some pine hope bite taking this into the finish. Nice stuff that won't be too hoppy or too malty for most. I'd dig a bit deeper hoppiness but I'm digging what this is doing.

Pint can pours with a clear deep gold colored body that supports a white head of foam. The aroma offers up citrus, berries, grapes and a dash of honeydew. The taste delivers an even blend of citrus hops, some white wine grape notes and murmurs of vague tropical fruitiness. To midway a fun yet fairly vague berry like fruity hoppiness bubbles to the surface. This achieves a tasty level of hoppy character without introducing much sugary sweetness. It borders on being snappy in its mouthfeel. I'll get more of this.

Pint can pours with a hazy gold colored body that has thin copper hues and supports a nice white head of foam. The aroma offers up some citrus and then fruit nuanced hop spiciness followed by a sense of pine like hops. The taste delivers a soft somewhat sweet mouthfeel hoisting up some grapefruit and then free flowing into a growing hoppy spicy bite. Yes. I'm a sucker for Columbus hops, even in a hazy. It reaches a pleasing hoppy depth and the typically troublesome sweetness doesn't get out of hand like nearly all other hazys. I'm good with this.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear golden colored body that supports a near creamy near white head of foam. The aroma offers up apricot, pineapple, a dash of grapefruit and then faint tangelo. The taste delivers a pleasing level of hop bitterness that isn't playing games. For a small beer this has big flavour. I get grapefruit, white wine grapes, some bitter grassyiness as well as herbal woodiness and then flowing into a modest malt base character. The malts add a sense of softness as well as a hint of cracker. Solid hop forward offering.

The pint can pours with a crystal clear deep gold colored body that supports a nice bright white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up some malt sweetness, pine hops and a bit of white wine grapes. The taste delivers pleasing chewy pine hop bitterness depth as well as lesser amounts grapefruit and slightly bitter white grapes. The malt backbone can be a little too forward but that sensation is fleeting and hopefully not changing with age/time. Additional sips continue to drum up slightly sweetened pine hop bitterness putting a smile on my face. This is bangin' and only 6.3%b ABV. Nice.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear gold copper colored body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up candied pine hops and then thin clouds of tropical to white grapes. The taste delivers a pleasing resiny pine hop depth of bitterness that demands some joyful chewing. Yes. Toward midway the pine is joined by mild sweet caramel malts and vague tropical hoppiness. This slaps.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold colored body that supports a semi loose white head of foam. The aroma offers up floral hops, dusty fruity esters and then some sweet bread in the background. The taste delivers similar as I'm getting sweet fig, pear and a bit of ripe red apple fruity esters that quickly run into increasing sweet bread and honey. There's a thin layer of vague to spicy floral bitter hops there too. I dig it. It's not doing too much. Just a solid Helles.

Opaque and pale. Medium head. Bright weedy aroma that gets juicy, orangey on the palate. Still with a lowish bitterness, but quality malt, no hop burn, and bright hop expression. This is what hazy IPA was supposed to be.
