Can, thansk Gregg! Nice orange golden pour with some white foam. Just a bit cloudy, no real haze. Fruity and tropical with a good hop marmalade addition. Taste is dry and lots of hops, tropical base, orange and grapefruit, lots of citric notes plus tropical sweetness. Some booze coming out in the finish. Good, maybe a bit old school-ish.

Slightly hazy nose. Over ripe mangoes and apricots. Full body, modest bitterness. Apricots, peaches, slightly astringent but ok. Everything was good but just ok.

Pours slightly hazed light gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Melon and pineapple aromas. Soft with sweet melon and papaya upfront turning to pith and dry mango skin in the lasting finish.

Canned 6/13, drunk 7/8/18 and on draught at Brava, 7/20/18.
Glowing, cloudy peach-honey-golden. Small, white head sits at low cover.
Lime-mango and leafy pine seems to suggest strong Mosaic properties. Very dry, leafy, not much juice but clean, with no alcohol or resin. Very sparse oat and cracker-like grains.
Lime-tangerine and papaya with some Azacca-like twang, but not too much, thankfully. Pretty light with lemon-like juice adding good bitterness and vibrant yellow fruits growing stronger on the finish, with warming. Soft, with a honey-malt-like density and engaging carbonation. Other than the slight bit of twangy, bad Mosaic character, it's excellent. Light on the palate, yet with succulent malt and hop. Zero resin, low bitterness, no alcohol.

On tap at Tip Tap Room, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out rich piney hops, some resins and stone fruits. Flavour follows through, with robust piney hops, some resins and light stone fruits. Fruity and piney. Excellent.

Bottle at a Mom's Donut pairing, paired with Chocolate Pineapple donut. Cherry was complementary, light tartness worked. The beer is hazy reddish amber. Light cherry aroma. Taste is lightly tart with light tannins. Thin body

4 pack of cans from Bier Cellar Portland. Hazy dark yellow color with a decent sized tightly bubbled white head that persists. Juicy citrus and light tropical fruits with a hint of earth and some sweet bready maltiness to back it up. I really enjoyed this one.

Bottle shared in Portland - sourced from the brewery. Pours hazy gold, effervescent, with a frothy, white head. Mild funk in the nose, pale bread, tangerines. Light sweet flavour, somewhat drying, pale biscuits, lightly tangy tangerines, a little musty hay. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Dry finish, a little citric tang, more funky, hay bales. Solid.
