Had on tap at DFH in Rehoboth.

A: Poured a very hazy copper color with a small white head on top. Not much retention with very little bits of lacing forming and dissipating just as quickly on the sides.

S: Light citrus, grapefruit, and a good bit of floral hops. There is a little bit of pine and some pale malt.

T: Lots of grapefruit on the flavor profile. A little on the sweet side, almost candied, but very tropical. Some light caramel malt evens it out a bit. Very fresh with some lingering fruit flavors on the finish.

M: Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Drinks smooth with a slightly dry finish.

O: Thought was quite tasty with a rather fresh flavor to it. Getting another one if it is still on tap next time I go to DFH.

Serving type: on-tap

This is a fantastic summer beer. Had a draft at the Dogfish Head restaurant in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

Pours a golden bright orange color resembling a lager or lighter beer. The smell, however, is anything but light. Rush of aroma, flowers and sun, and a bountiful amount of hops, which was somewhat surprising.

Reminded me of Sam Adams' summer ale, with much more hops. Very nice.

3.5/5  rDev -16.3%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

appearance: hazy pale copper-orange in color with a 1 finger head

smell: mostly a hop presence

taste: a mildly hoppy pale ale, a decent malt backbone to uphold the hops

mouthfeel: mild carbonation, medium body

overall: average beer, nothing over the top, but love the idea of the fresh hop brew

cheers
