Draught at Trina's, 8/9/18.
Mostly clear, soft-toned, peachy-golden with a small, yet fairly firm, white head atop.
Lightly fruity in the nose with strong orange and lemon notes redolent of Cascade and Centennial, though nicely free of pine (or pine resin, at least). Biscuity malts provide some heft and moderate "sweetness" in the nose and the beer remains clean and free of any alcohol, on the end.
In the mouth it's malty, with significant body and heft to it, although attenuation is still on-point. Just lots of soft texture and depth, with biscuit, dough and light honey. Marmalade, orange, grapefruit and lemon all play nicely adding only moderate bitterness and little/no resin. Fruity and ever-so-slightly juicy on the end. C-hops/citrus done right, for a change. Engaging carbonation and no flaw or alcohol noted. Not exactly overwhelming you with flavor and complexity, but well-made, as Rising Tide most often is.

Can pour into plastic taster cup at Craft Brew Race Portland. Appearance is pale yellow, ginger-ale looking, no discernible sparkle, small white head, with mild lacing. Aroma is citrus, pine, grapefruit. Taste is spicy pine, grapefruit, more than citrus. Palate is spicy bite, light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and crisp, clean mix of earthy bitter and cracker malt finish. Overall, at 4.3%, very sessionable and not the boldest of flavors (palate experience dominates flavor) but decent.
