4.55/5  rDev +8.1%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Appearance:

Cracked open then tall boy can and was greeted with a generous hiss and had some foam leaking out the mouth. I decided to pour this into my DFH snifter and was left with a beautiful two finger thick bone white head that clung around for quite a while. Pours a sunny yellow with some orange hues around the edges, and as I hold the glass up to the light there is a slight amount of haze. On the swirl there is a decent amount of viscosity leaving foam legs on the glass walls.

Smell:

Bright copious amounts of lemon skins, orange pulp, and fresh cut flowers (no pun intended) Grass and hay wrapped around peaches an other tropical fruits finished off with some light bread and biscuit notes.

Taste:

Very dry citrus front with bubbly fresh pineapples and mango. Very high carbonation that scrubs your palate on every sip and I am loving every second of it. Rounding out the middle there is alfalfa, grass, earth, and soft bready notes which balance the whole package. In the finish I am pulling out orange marmalade and no heat alcohol which makes this super drinkable and delicious.

16oz can thanks to readbaron and mulder1010. Into a Brooklyn tulip.

Pours a bright light orange golden colour with a hazy appearance. Nice off-white fluffy foam that lasts forever and leaves spots all over the glass.

Smells brilliant. Lots of mango and then a little floral, maybe dandelions. Some pine and grapefruit too.

Tastes of grapefruit and a little bit of pine. Not as defined as the smell. Still very solid.

Softer feel, lighter body that builds with bitterness towards the end. Very, very drinkable. To the point where you realise the 16oz will be gone way too soon!

I'll generally go into bat for Little Creatures at its best as a very good pale ale, but this leaves it well in the shade. Superbly drinkable. Amazing to smell and looks a treat. Nice hop fix. Wish we had something in Australia that comes close.

Poured from a can into a fluted glass at a bar in DC.

A hoppy bitter monster in a relatively low 5.2% ABV package. I think that is a good thing. Comparable to the old version of Hop Pocket (an early hop monster that has since been corrupted.) My "overall" rating above was bumped 0.25 because of the high taste/low ABV ratio.

A - Pours a clear golden color with a three-finger off-white rocky head, which dissipates quickly to a thin layer.

S - An equal combination of floral and citrusy (grapefruit) notes.

T - Bitter in the middle and lasting through and beyond the finish. Some very slight sweetness near the end. Some faint carmel notes.

MF - Light to medium bodied. Gave me a coated feeling.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25

A - Light golden, huge white fluffy head, patchy lacing up to high beer mark, not hazy but only semi translucent

S - flowery, grass, carmel, grain, faint citrus, earthy, wheat

T - grain, flowery, carmel, grass, earth, dirt. finish isnt bitter (3/10) nor sweet.

M - med body, not much froth, med/high viscosity, little more acidity than expected

O- Pretty dull. Honestly i feel left hanging. I keep waiting for the burst of flavor - and every sip i am let down. This flowery/grass/dirt taste is just not appealing. Aside from the look, I would not talk highly of this.
