12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 2/1/2017. Pours lightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of juicy pineapple, apricot, peach, pear, lemon, melon, berry, wheat, biscuit, light honey, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of apricot, pineapple, pale malt, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big juicy pineapple, apricot, peach, pear, lemon, melon, berry, wheat, biscuit, light honey, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very mild herbal bitterness and tangy fruit tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy pineapple, apricot, peach, pear, lemon, melon, berry, wheat, biscuit, light honey, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of apricot, pineapple, pale malt, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; with no cloying sweetness after the finish. Minimal dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, and moderately creamy/bready/grainy mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is a very nice fruited pale wheat ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of apricot, pineapple, pale malt, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink. Great balance of authentic fruits and wheat beer flavors. Very flavorful with a nice mouthfeel/body for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Can at Kroger More and more shelf space fills with these AbInbev brands. Hazy light yellow with a quickly falling whiten head. Light grapefruit aroma. Lightly bitter, some wet cardboard. So so.

Can from Brewers Haven. Light golden body with small foamy head. Aroma us hoppy and fruity, light citrus. Taste favors the sweetness, citrus fruity flavors followed by a mild hoppy bite. Another yawner.

Hazy light stray color with a lively but fleeting white head. Lots of mango inthe aroma and flavors. Some sweetness too, which helps the fruit flavor. Light bready what ae body. Very refreshing. Chugable.

Pour is a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma is a nice yeasty ester with a bit of lemon juice citrus. Flavor is again a decent ester with some hop bitterness and almost a wheat malt. Finish is very dry and gone in a second. There was nothing wrong with this beer. Decent estery saison.

Looks like the In Bev effect, these beers are making it into PDX now. Pours a clear golden hue with a large white head. A nice light fruity hop and grain nose. Sweet, oranges, some dusty earth, lemons especially. Low bitterness. Smooth. Solid, simple, not much to stand out for an IIPA.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy amber mid brown with excellent dense tan head. Nice aroma, mainly pine with some floral and candy hints. Medium body with smooth creamy carbonation. Good taste, although rather confused. Hops apparent throughout. There’s earthy flavours, and berry notes. Pleasant, drinkable, but taste seemed confused.

Canned April 1st.
Pours clear straw yellow, goodly amount of foam.
Tropical fruity nose with bitter hops.
Really bitter and dank hop taste that overwhelms any tropical fruit I got in the smell. Big bread notes from the malt.
Good enough mouthfeel, perhaps a bit more carbonation.
Pretty average DIPA in my book.
