Amber body, thin white head, spotty lacing. Light grapefruit and floral notes, soft pale malts. Medium to light bodied, gentle carbonation, light bitterness. Simple, but pleasant.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. American hops dominate the nose, citrus and some classic PNW tones though a little queasy. Hazy orange-amber pour with a foamy beige head. Taste only lightly sweet with some rindy, astringent bitterness (medium), an there’s some scratchy yeast way at the bottom that might indicate the primitive stages of an infection, but regardless, the malt is thin and the crystal unrounded. Like the extra warmth from the increased abv but the gritty mouthfeel detracts.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours clear amber with a huge off white head...lively. ..nice lacing and retention. aroma has earthy bitterness. Flavor follows suit...earthy hops and some caramel. Mouthfeel is light and the finish is bitter/earthy and dry.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle from the sampler case. Not much to say about this beer in the positive. So glad I at least got a free glass for buying the case.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Keg: Pours an orange color with a white head. Aroma is citrus hops, with caramel malt backbone. Taste is much as expected. Hoppiness is somewhere around the middle. This is not a very ambitious beer, but it is also perfectly drinkable and quite pleasant.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear light orange-brown. Complicated aroma of malt, hops, citrus, flowers and wheat. But there is something else...barley/cereal possibly. It’s sweet as well. Good toasted malt flavor with some bitterness and spice. Hops dominate.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured light amber color with small minimal head, lots of carbonation. Smell has some toasted malt and floral hops. Taste is thin slightly sweet malt with an earthy floral hop bitterness. Easy to drink but slightly boring.
