35cl Blik van Beer Republic. Troebel oranjegele kleur, witte kraag. Fruitig, citrus, sinaasappelschil, licht bloemig, verbena, degelijk bitter. Boven verwachting goed. Lichte body, zacht mondgevoel.

From a tall can. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Aroma of tangerines and grain. Flavors are light and grainy with not much hop presence. Pretty refreshing, actually, on a hot summer day.

12 oz. can. Pours a cloudy gold color with a large off white head and excellent retention. Good lacing. Citrus and hops aroma. The taste follows the nose: Grapefruit and hops flavor with a mellow bitterness and a dry finish. Sorry, I don't taste any orange. Medium body. Medium carbonation. A hazy IPA lite.

Pours hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma of citrus, oak. Taste has dry malt, plenty of citrus. Palate has more of the same, lemongrass.

Its always nice when a beer defies expectations. Blue Moon isn't exactly the worlds best craft brewer, more like a pseudo-craft brewer of course, and I'll always pass on their wit because meh. I also tend to pass on hazies too, and I almost did on this one because a fruited hazy from this brewer just seemed like yet another gas station tick that I wouldn't like. But I said fuck it and went for the tick, and by gawd if I didn't enjoy this beer down to the last. Nose featured a nice orange zest thing going on, smelled a bit like drinking a lightly hopped beer while sitting in an orange tree. Definitely hazy yellow-gold color, big white creamy head. The beer glowed, but that was because it was getting dark on my patio and I sat it down next to a string of solar lights. So I guess more accurately it transmitted light. Flavor was quite balanced, had a decent sweetness (some bread, some orange, some malt) to go with the hop flavorings which were mild and not overdone like too many hazies, perfectly balanced unlike most beers in this category. The result was really something not at all like a hazy, really just more of a cloudy citrusy something.
