6 week old bottle from summer variety A: Crystal clear bubbly pale gold with a very short white head that fell quickly to a ring. S: Bready, lemony and floral scent. Light but nice. T: Sweet bready malts dominate with just enough herbal and citrus hop bitterness then a little lemon pith at the finish. M: Light, clean and drinkable if a bit thin. O: Hopped up pils but not totally bastardized and actually pretty nice.

5 week old bottle from Summer variety A: Short grayish beige head atop a clear pale orange body with a few bubbles. Short retention to a stubborn ring and thin sheets of lace. S: Muted scent of tart citrus and pine. T: Sharp and bitter with tart orange, pith and zest. Pine resin and wood linger to finish. Way more taste than smell. M: Light and thin save for slight resin, with a spritzy bubble scrub. Clean and highly refreshing. O: A pleasant surprise, nice tasty light ale. I'd like more than 3 in the pack.

4 week old bottle A: Hard poured to a finger of frothy beige yellow head that held up well. Body is mostly clear pale gold despite the description. A few slow bubbles seen. S: Dry pithy grapefruit scent with a hint of sugar cookie. T: Very tropical with pithy bitterness and juice notes of grapefruit, and peach . A little biscuit under the hops but no real sweetness. M: Light, crisp and very dry with little resin on a clean finish. Refreshing and easy drinking. O: Very tasty well balanced lighter IPA that I could drink a lot of.
