look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Pours a very nice cloudy, golden color. There is small carbonation, but constant and a thin white head stays on top of the beer throughout the drink.
Smell has a good wheat base with a very strong lemon smell to it. Almost like a radler.
Taste is much stronger on the hop tastes than the smell. The good wheat base persists, but a very nice hop taste that is earthy and lemony.
Mouthfeel is very nice. Smooth, but a bit of a crisp, refreshing bite.
Drinkability is good on this beer. Smooth drink has nice balanced tastes, but also a refreshing crispness. As usual, a great beer from Jackie O's.

Serving type: growler

Served on tap into a shaker glass at the brewpub

A- Poured a very light pale straw color, it looked like bud light or nati light in color. It did have a frothy head that left lots of chunky lace though.

S- Almost no aroma, very light grapefruit

T- Some grapefruit and pine notes especially during the first 2 or 3 oz., later on on some apple and lemon type flavors. Big wet cardboard taste too. No malt at all and very watery in flavor. The longer I drank this the more watery, less hoppy, and more flavorless this became. It started to taste like a very old pale ale or IPA.

M- Very watery, lighter mouthfeel, pretty low carbonation

O- I guess I was expecting a singe hop IPA, but I really think this beer had no malt at all. The lack of malt would have been okay if the hop flavors stayed throughout the beer and was less watery.

Serving type: on-tap

Received in a pint glass. I enjoy gettting one of the series every time I go to JO's. The beers themselves are forgettable, but it allows me to do some research into hop profiles without doing any of the work myself.

3.5 A: Golden wheat color. Came without a head.

3.5 S: Pine and grapefruit dominate. Flowery with a light orange citrus.

2.5 T: Tastes like it smells. Moderate bitterness. Pine and grapefruit, flowers, and mild citrus. Lacking any maltiness, which I guess is the point.

2.5 M: Light body. Moderate carbonation. Not much creaminess.

2.5 D: It is what it is.

Serving type: on-tap
