16 oz. can purchased at Beer Street, Brooklyn, NY. (spilt 2 ways) Aroma is mild tropical hints, light oats, a hint of pine. The flavor and aroma don’t match. Flavor is light citrus, light vanilla, chewy oats, and maybe a note of pine underneath. Not overly sweet but… sweet all the same.

Can, by way of a trade. Fully hazy, pale, straw gold. Film of sticky, lasting, white head. Nose has melon and pineapple. Grated citrus. Orange and lime pith. Notes of ripe stone fruit. Dry, clean malt backdrop. Taste is clean, citrus zest bitter. Some dryness. Little in the way of sweetness, barring a touch of vanilla malt. Bright and slightly tart on the palate. Medium body. Soft carbonation. Clean and refreshingly bitter finish. Great pale ale.

Can, by way of a trade. Packaged three weeks ago. Hazed, pale gold. Fine, lasting, lacing, white head. Looks far removed from the pic in the description. Nose has peach stone. Peach and apricot flesh. Pink grapefruit. Pine needle. Ripe orange. Taste is sweet and juicy, with a soft, estery, pithy citrus bitterness. Smooth and silky mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Creamy, in a word. Finish is pithy and juicy bitter. Disappeared.

Draught @ City Hops. Opaque dark brown with very small frothy tan head, mocha-dark chocolate aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter mocha taste, thin watery body, long finish. Great aroma, unfortunately not followed up by a strong mouthfeel.

Can, by way of a trade. Fully hazy, creamy, pale gold. Thin and dense, lacing, lasting, white head. Nose has pineapple sorbet. Pink grapefruit. Lemon ice cream. Soft mineral. Trace of sweet, creamy grain. Taste has a light, mineraly, citrus rind bitterness. Mouthfeel is perfect. Creamy and smooth, without being thick and oaty. Soft carbonation. Nicely mineraly and pithy bitterness to finish. Fantastic beer.

Can shared in Hackney - cheers to Tipple. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds peach, nectarine, melon, orange. Medium sweet flavour with mild rindy bitterness, rich papaya, pear, melon, mango. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, juicy, a little dank, fresh smoothie of tropical fruits. Great stuff.

Chez Smith bottleshare. Thanks to Tips for the can. Light haze on this gold beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Good bouncy citrus, mild spice. Little citrus peel. Some fairly obvious diacetyl in the shape of Carnation Milk burns off reasonably quidkly but leaves a touch of caramel. A mixed bag.
