Tap at Cap Tap. Pours translucent copper with a near-white head. Aroma of tart pale stone fruit with some passion fruit. Med plus body. Flavor is tart/sour fruit - red berry with some light spice and somewhat musty wood. Has a bit of sugar, so arguably it’s sweet/tart. Pleasing sensation in the mouth. Musty wood pervades everything in a moderate/acceptable manner. Quite tasty.

Draft. A- Melon, mild hoppiness. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Bitter, grassy. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, astringent finish. O- Get the melon on the nose but just bitterness on the palate. Fairly dank. Curious if this is from the Nebraska brewery since I am the first rate and I've only heard of it around the Lincoln/Omaha area.

Super deep bronze and orange coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall pure white head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of grass, hay, mangoes, papaya and some other light fruits with a dash of resin and light sugars towards the end as well. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very dry flavours with a lot of resin and tropical fruit notes along with the light and non-bittering hop elements which show some good ranging complexities that end in a herbal bite from the hops and light malt at the very end. Aftertaste shows some of the sweetness from fruit juice with a lot of robust malty characteristics with a pleasant complexity throughout and showing some good herbal flavours at the tail end, all with a lot of sweetness for the style. Overall, a nice offering that has quite the range with a lot of tropical notes and a pleasant sweetness that makes it a nice variance for the style and well worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on fraught at the Lincoln Brewpub in Lincoln, Nebraska on 06-November-2018 for US$6,00.

From can to pint glass. Beautifully clear and light gold with a full, soapy white head that retains throughout the pour and leave moderate patterns down the glass. Piney and dank with faint orange and white cracker aroma. Flavor is clean and crisp, with moderate bittering. As it warmed, the bitterness showed more on the back half of the palate. A really clean beer and one of the better ones from Green Flash.

1pt.3.2fl.oz. can. Pours a hazy gold-yellow with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves plenty of lace. Aroma of caramel malt, grapefruit flesh, pine and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of caramel malt, orange, grapefruit, lemon, muddled tropical fruit and pine with a dry, bitter, floral hop finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and easy drinking.
