malvrich (986) reviewed Juice Box Hero from Gizmo Brew Works 8 months ago
Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 6.5 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7
2 week old can
A: Surprisingly quite clear gold with 1/2" of long lasting off white head.
S: The usual (for a hazy) pineapple and peach but also a nice grassy note.
T: Mildly bitter with dry citrus pith and astringent pineapple over chalky cracker malt.
M: Low to average carbonation, light body and lightly sticky finish.
O: Smells and tastes hazy despite the clarity. Pretty decent though. I'm always happy to find a new pale ale.

7 week old can
A: Crystal clear pale gold with a short, quick head.
S: Light sweetish floral and toasty aroma.
T: Fairly bitter and dry with toasty and citrusy notes. Not quite seltzery.
M: Stiff carbonation, very lightweight with a clean, dry finish.
O: No Go-To but better than a lot of light IPAs around now. I'd buy a 6er!
