Poured from an undated 16 oz can. Aroma is hop forward with lots of passion fruit, orange, tropical citrus and stone fruit with light dank, pine and onion notes. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a slightly hazy, pale, golden straw color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderate bitterness and hints of alcohol. Medium light citrus and floral hop notes with light dank and stone fruit notes. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright pale ale but something is a bit off in this one. I'm not sure if it's the hop profile or off fermentation notes, but it's a bit odd. The mouthfeel and malt profile is light and easy drinking.

16oz can pours a clear dark gold with some creamy, white head. Nose is nice, and certainly reminiscent of spring. Flowers, some green grass, a little garlic scape, some light citrus. Flavor has a light grist followed by some citrus and soap and patchouli, flowers still, grass too. It's a little less dank in the mouth, but that's really my only complaint. Finishes dry, bitter, super drinkable. A nice bite.
