6.8/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7
Month old pint can
A: Clear turbulent gold body with a thick, lasting white head. Great retention and stringy lace.
S: Muted bread wood and herbs.
T: Tart fruity hops are joined by the wood and herbs. Not quite citrus, not quite cherry. Ends lightly bitter and tart.
M: Light and crisp with coating carbonation and kind of a wet finish.
O: Has more character than I expected. Worthwhile blonde for sure.

6.4/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 6.5
2 month old pint can
A: Slightly hazy pale gold with a short, lasting white head.
S: Heavy on grapefruit and pith, light on pineapple. Wheaty notes.
T: Follows the nose closely but more pineapple than grapefruit. Only light bitterness and malts still more wheaty than oaty. Tastes hazy.
M: Light and smooth textured with soft carbonation and clean finish.
O: Expensive with nothing to distinguish it from a hundred hazies. Disappointing.

6.6/10 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.
