I had this on tap at Beachwood in Long Beach. This nicely hopped beer is tasty and under 5%,

Pours a yellowy orange. Nice pine tree bitterness that really lingers. It truly is a session ale. I like that it is thin and peppy.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours with a clear golden hued body with a lasting frothy head of just off-white foam. Aromas are hoppy and floral on the nose. Bready and grainy. Medium esters. Hops are citrusy with a good amount of resin and grapefruit. Flavors are dry, hoppy, grainy, floral and assertively bitter. Bitter balance. Dry, citrusy. Medium to lively carbonation. A very nice session beer!

A: The pour is a lightly hazed orange color with a couple fingers of white head. S: Nice citrus hops up front with some floral and lightly grassy notes, too. Bready malts and a slight toast note. There’s a hint of pine in there, too. A nice hoppy nose, overall. T: A somewhat light flavor, but good citrus peel, especially grapefruit and orange. Light grass and some pine bitterness. The base of it is bready malts. M: Light to medium in body with a medium carbonation. O: Really an easy to drink, light, hoppy beer.
