Poured from a 12-oz bottle into a pilsner glass. Color was a clear gold, almost looked like urine from a dehydrated person. Maybe ¾ inches of head that dissipated pretty quickly and was completely gone 10-12 minutes into the beer.
Smell was strong and citrusy and full of fruits with extra vitamin C. From oranges to orange peels to tangerines to grapefruit. The smell stuck in your senses for an unusually long time.
First thing I noticed about the taste was how clean and refreshing it was. It was full of flavors, mostly fruits. Really citrusy that cleans out your nose. Orange peels reign supreme with the taste. The aftertaste was fairly strong on the alcohol, not as good as the initial taste.
Carbonation seems to be just above average. Really light and refreshing. Definitely a good summer brew that would be great by the pool or at the beach. The taste stayed on the tongue for a long time.
Overall I enjoyed this beer. I don’t know if I could drink it all the time, but in the heat I’d be good for two or three. It’s light, refreshing and the smells and flavors really seem to mix well.

Nice golden blonde appearance, solid head makes for nice retention and lace. Aroma was delicious, nothing getting in the way of the citra hop here. Pungent especially for a summer brew.
The hop flavor is sturdy and the bitterness is low, super light malt base, truly a summer brew with taste. Awesome session beer they really should bring back. Or is it still around and I haven't seen it for a few years? Light toast and citra hops, sounds like summer for me.
