Bottled. Poured slightly hazy medium golden with a short-lived cap of white head. The aroma picked up lighter fruits, pale malts, and a hint of honey in the sweet department with pineapple and floral accents.. the pineapple was quite memorable, and built up as this warmed. The flavor also had a bunch of pineapple, both in sweetness and in bitterness.. primarily pale malts at the core.. long, lingering bitterness on the finish.. tasty. Light-medium bodied with lively carbonation on the palate.. engaging mouthfeel and refreshing bitterness at the finish. Very good stuff!

12 oz bottle. Poured a cloudy amber with a thin white head. Nose was sweet, maybe apricot and grapefruit. Has a sweet flavor to it . Nice smooth medium bodied mouthful makes this an easy beer to drink. Ends with some decent bitterness

Pours a hazy dark golden color with off white head. Light sour grapefruit aroma. Sweet and fruity with some hop bitterness and sweet maltiness. Slightly spicy. Medium body with average carbonation. A very nice beer.

Golden color with a light white head. Clear look. Smell is some hops, grassy, malts, yeast. Taste is grassy with a medium bitterness. Pine at the back of the mouth. Decent.
