Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a white head. The aroma offers up citrus notes that has edges of tangelo, tangerine and a bit of grapefruit as well has faint notes of mango and kind of a berry like sensation. The taste delivers a fine range of tangy to bitter citrus hops basically as described in the nose as tangy tangelo and tangerine like notes lead to an increasing but moderate level of grapefruit hop bitterness. Behind the citrus are softer thinner sweeter mango to a bit of cantaloupe layers of hop flavor. This is clean and crisp with only mild sweetness. Solid brew.

Pint can pours with a clear dark ruby red to mahogany colored body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up inviting smooth bacon and smoked port butt like smokiness as well as some chocolate malts and a bit of crystal like malts in the background. The taste delivers modest smokiness bound tightly to sweet crystal malts and thin plum like sweet fruity esters. Toward the finish it picks up a hint of mineral notes as well as echoes of chocolate malts. I dig a rauch bier but would prefer even greater smoky goodness. Solid stuff.

Pint can pours with a fairly clear gold colored body that supports a nice near white head of foam. The aroma offers up tropical notes of peach, mango, cantaloupe, a bit of honeydew and then thin clouds of funky guava fighting against a bit of grapefruit. The taste delivers an initial pleasing bitter grapefruit like bitter citrus hoppiness and then slowly bleeding into mango, peach and honeydew. Nice. There's a pleasing bitter hop to sweet flavor hop balance that wasn't clear in the nose but delivers in spades here in the taste. This works. Solid.

Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a mildly hazy golden colored body that supports a regenerative near white head of foam. The mild aroma offers up grapefruit, citrus pith, tangelo and then a bit of berry like notes. The taste delivers smooth to growing citrus hop bitterness that ranges from bitter grapefruit and grapefruit pith to tangy slightly under ripe tangelo. To midway it picks up various berry like fruitiness running up against the citrus hop bitterness. It ends fairly dry with a sense of the malt base and lingering bitter to almost tary grapefruit pith. Fun one.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold colored body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up peach, tangelo, orange marmalade, a dash of mango and then some hop spiciness. The taste delivers nice grapefruit to tangerine to orange citrus hop bitter tanginess that cuts through what ever sweetness tries to surface. To that end softer juicy peach and mango try to gain on the brighter notes. Underneath the friutiness is a sense of spicy to faintly woody that add another albeit tiny facet to the experience. Solid West Coast that maintains tasty hop IBU rather than running away from them. Oh, another sip reveals a tasty cracker malt goodness toward the finish. Nice.
