L: Bright Orange-pink. Lacing is apparent

S: The wheat is evident, but with a little bit of the Half-Acre Hop funk that is so common among their beers.

T: Intense Wheat flavor without being annoying; mainly due to balance with, orange, honey, and lavender.

F: Light initially, well-balanced. Dryer than anticipated finish that is foreshadowed but the hop scent.

O: This beer drinks more like a session IPA- so it's perfect to mix in on a summer day when you aren't feeling another hop monster. pairs well with food- especially burgers/wraps/etc.

L: A light peach color, great great, some lacing

T: A bready, wheaty, bright, flowery, orange, every so slight funk, sweet honey smell

T: A subdued held back version of the smell, but in a delicate way. The flavor is all there but just light. Not in your face bold flavors which is a nice respite from the typical ridiculously juicy hoppy beers that Half Acre makes (not to say they all are that way)

F: Low carb, very smooth, light feel. Finishes dry

O: This beer is great for pairing with a nice light food dish. The flavors are excellent but not overly obnoxious. Very smooth and well crafted.

Had this a year ago in Chicago. From notes.

Cloudy, golden yellow pour with two fingers of loose fluffy white head. Good lace and retention. Big lemon and floral nose with some grass and that follows through with some passionfruit in the flavour. A bit of juiciness in there too.

Good carbonation and a medium body with milder but recognizable bitterness.

Good stuff. Confused by the unfiltered nature, but it was tasty and definitely drinkable.

Pours a cloudy straw color with a foamy, dense white head that sticks around with lots of lace.
The aroma is citrus, toast, lemongrass, tropical fruit.
The taste is citrus and cracker with a pithy, bitter finish.
Medium, bubbly and smooth on the tongue.
