On tap at Lake Tahoe Aleworx, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops, light resins, and sweet biscuity malt. Flavour is pleasantly bitter, with piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Nicely made but doesn't have the depth of hop flavours that some standouts in the style do. Good.

Very hazy peach and copper coloured body with a straw glow, all with a thinnish, single to perhaps two centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of light mangoes and pears with a hint of peaches as well, but a good deal of bitterness from the alpha acids is noticeable in the nose with a little bit of sweetness from the fruits, as well. Light to Medium-bodied; A good deal of tart and soured notes from the peaches show at first with a little bit of alpha acids and bitterness from the hops, but more of a crisp and dry malt character that hits towards the end. Aftertaste shows a pretty good balance with malts and light fruit notes with the subdued bitterness from the hops noticeable and very complex towards the end. Overall, a pretty nice and relatively balanced profile with some good malts, but the hops provide a nice bitterness while the fruits are always here bringing out the peach, but especially mango flavours. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Fairfield, California on 07-March-2022 for US$3,50 sampled in my hotel room here in Vacaville, California on 10-March-2022.

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear, bright gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is mostly spice, or perhaps grass/spice. Med body. Flavor is crisp and clean; light breadiness dominated by spicy bitterness - green - not one of those red/brown nutty things. Very good flavor.
