On tap at Five Shores. Pours a fully hazy yellow with a white head. Citrus in the aroma. On the lighter side, with flavors of citrus (orange, lemon, grapefruit), and a bit of wheat in the finish. I very much like the hoppiness in this one.

Slightly hazy medium orange-brown body, thin off-white head. Vague aroma. Body is sugary-sweet, even caramely, with hops imparting fruity notes (berries, melon). Also a touch boozy. Odd beer.
