Draught at Freeport, 6/15/18.
Lightly hazy, blonde-brass-maize body is topped by a small, white head showing modest retention.
Citrus (grapefruit, lemon) is strong in the nose, but not hard and acidic. Lightly juicy yellow fruits seem to be a mix of hop and a lot of yeast ester. Honey-rich malts behind easily balance but don't seem too sugary. Clean and hoppy with some slightly sharp esters but no real problems.
In the mouth it's moderately bitter but growing sweet and estery with big melon notes balancing stronger grapefruit and orange notes. Softer yellow fruits keep things round and lighthearted enough here, while moderate carbonation is engaging enough to keep it somewhat brisk on the finish. Light biscuit and cracker but predominantly honey, from the malts, definitely keeps things soft overall. Good and fruity. Not full-on tropical juice like many in the style, but the softness and fruitiness is certainly there.

Draught at Freeport, 6/15/18.
Clear, light blonde with a bit of deeper brass. Small, thin, white head sits lightly at cover.
Leafy green, lightly spicy, lightly floral hops are modestly aromatic, clean and show moderate citrus (tangerine, lemon, orange rind) alongside light biscuity grains and a touch of sweet base malt. English yeast is light, adding playful fruitiness that complements the hops well but is otherwise not too apparent (no diacetyl here). No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's fairly soft, lightly sweet (white bread, dough, cookies) and moderately-to-lightly bitter (floral, herbs, light citrus). Medium-light body, but not thin or poorly malted, with moderate, engaging carbonation and no alcohol or flaw. Fairly bright and quite drinkable. Malts are a little sugary, but otherwise the hops are gentle but flavorful and aromatic and the beer is clean.
