Has a savory flavor up front that I can't put my finger on, but if finishes smooth. The citrus flavor is not very prominent. Its a good hazy pale ale.

5 oz. pour as part of a flight at the brewery. Opaque dark yellow-light brown, persistent ring of head, trace lacing. Aroma is sweet fruit (melon?), mild cracker backdrop, bread dough .Taste is initial strong, dankly sweet pineapple, an almost a rum quality, late biscuit. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Not unpleasant but weird for hop mix.
Apparently, my 1000th beer this year. Not sure if I'm proud, disgusted or some other emotion from this "achievement." Though I've said this a few times before, don't think I want to break this record...

5 oz. pour as part of a flight at the brewery. Opaque, dark yellow-light brown, thin ring of head, light lacing. Aroma is strongly dank—vague cat box—cracker. Taste is strong citrus, dank herbal/musty, biscuit/cracker. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, malty finish with light bitterness. Ok but not indicative of hop mix and more malt than hops so disappointing.
