Slightly hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a thickish, three to four centimetre tall justs off-white head that fades quite quickly and leaves a subtle lace on the sides. Aroma of crisp citrus fruits with a lot of tangerines and pervasive sweetness with a light tartness and stronger bitterness from the noticeable citrusey hops (smells more like citra than mosaic). Medium-bodied; Assertive fresh hop notes dominate with a ton of citrusey flavours dominating with a very light and mild malt backbone that shows through and leaves a subtle backbone with more sweetness than typical, but more body for sure than most in the style and with no real alcohol flavours at all. Aftertaste is rich with good malts and hops both, and the balance has been struck nicely with a good bitterness from the hops, but the sweetness remains strong. Overall, a very nice and pungent APA that is light enough to drink more than one of these, but still has enough flavours and complexity to make it worth your while. A nice beer for sure. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Bailey's Cross Roads (Falls Church), Virginia on 24-April-2021 for US$3,75 (perhaps rang up as FREE?!?) sampled in my hotel room here in Raleigh, North Carolina on 29-May-2021.

Super hazy golden and straw yellow coloured body with a very nice, two to three centimetre tall, barely off-white microfoamed head that stays afloat for a long time and almost looks nitrogenated! Aroma of grass, hay, grapefruit, pure flowers and a good deal of both malt and especially astringent alcohol. Medium to Full-bodied; Very rich, ultra malty bite at first that shows a slightly smooth wheatie note, but still thick that fades to a very juicy, orange-y and melony flavour, complete with some lactosey and almost creamy, vanilla notes that hit with a rich caster sugar sweetness towards the end along with some noticeable alcohol, but that is tempered, due to the sweetness. Aftertaste is fairly clean, but very rich still, with a lot of malts, a slightly dry bite with a good hit of alcohol and hop bitterness, but with the majority of sugars derived from the fruits, this finishes about how I expected it to, before opening the can. Overall, a nice beer, that is very true to the style, aside from the nose, where all fruits were missing! My 1st from the brewery, but a pretty good start, nice to have relatively locally and fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 27-November-2020 for US$4,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 02-December-2020.
