Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a white head. Bitter with malty aromas of straw and quite strong hoppy aromas of grass. Medium bodied with a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Soft carbonation. Bitter finish.

This was a wonderfully fresh and crisp beer with lots of citrus and some spiciness that went great with a 4th of July BBQ.

Bottle from the best-stocked 7-11 in town (52nd and Figueroa). I was pretty shocked, as this tasted almost perfectly like Bud Light. And that’s not my thing.

crisp, good hopslap clean malt 5.6% tastes like more than that than it should. clean but complex not a normal ale yeast in this thing. A big divergence from normalcy, but have to question what he is going for. This could be a fake American Belgian from a lesser brewer. Something isn’t right, this is like coors for beer snobs, happy to drink it, but wish it was something slightly more. Sidenote, this is what I expected Pranqster from north coast to be (but that was terrible).

Thanks to brewdad for giving me a chance to try this. On my quest to try all things HOTD. Poured a hazy gold color. Some tangerine and sweet wheat in the nose. Taste was more of the sweet wheat and the same hint of tangerine, goes down nice and smooth. I don’t even think it has wheat in it, but that’s just what came out. Great summer beer, nice and refreshing.

Has a deep orange/brown color, and smells like it should have more alcohol content than it does. Very drinkable, without being overly good. Perfect, easy beer for a hot summer day.
