From a 22 oz bottle poured a hazy gold with a huge foamy head the just would not quit. Nose of piney and floral hops, backed up by mild malts. Somewhat carbonated leading to a light mouthfeel. Flavor slightly sour, and a bit sweet. Finish mildly bitter. Easy to drink.

650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Hazy yellow with a foamy white head. Pleasant honey aroma. Good honey and flowery taste with some hops showing through in the finish. Decent overall.

Sampled out of a 22 oz bottle. Pours with a ton of carbonation, making it pretty much impossible to pour a glass full. Has a very refreshing taste and light malts and hops. Overall a very well crafted light pale beer.

Great beer for the intent of being a golden/blond ale. Refreshing and hoppy. In fact, it was surprisningly hoppy for such a light beer. Piney hops. Great for the beach.

Bottle. Hazy golden/amber beer with a big off-white head. Light citrus/hay/spice aroma. Lemony flavor with some malt and decent bitterness. A bit thin and slightly astringent. Lingering background bitterness.

Light aroma with citrus, and, I think, malt. Hazy golden peach color with a significant white head. Bet this is either unpasteruized or BC. Starts out with a hint of peach, followed by a wet paper overlay, followed by pepper! Interesting mouthfeel, and the pepper may be from hops? Quite dry.

Bottle from Bev Mo Costa Mesa, CA. Bottle infected. Instantly foamed up and was as carbonated as champagne. Poured down sink. Did not even attempt to drink. Fucking Bev Mo. Re rating: Bottle not infected or green. Aroma of grass and lemon. Beer is an unfiltered yellow color, almost reminiscient of a hef. Flavor of grass, earth, and lemon. Sweetened as it warmed up. An unimpressive, albeit drinkable ale. It reminded me more of an APA too.
