Invasion

Date on can: 2018-06-28. Picked up from the brewery on a recent trip to Florida. Can has a new design than the one from a few years ago. Pours slightly cloudy with an inch of small bubbled white foam. Head never receded completely. Thick lacing is thick, sticky and in large rings. Aroma of lemon, grassy, and orange. A slight sweetness is accompanied by hints of earth and spice. Undertones of mango. Taste of orange, lemon, grass and mango hops titillate the palate. Earthy and spice, herbal is probably a better way to put it. Light bitterness that builds and lingers. Light body to the nth degree. It almost doesn't exist. Medium carbonation creates the little bit of body that exists. Dries. Too light of a body. It needs more sustenance. Good combination of hops. Easy to drink but I am not a fan of highly hopped extremely light bodied beers. Solid but not my cup of tea. Enjoy!

A: Ever so slight haze with a thin, fluffy white head of average retention. S: Citrusy and grassy with a little tropical flair, maybe lemon, orange, and apricot. T: Chalky low tree fruit and citrus that bends to herbal and green. I'd say hop bitterness is low-moderate. The malt is very low sweetness and grainy plus biscuit. Body is soft, with moderate carbonation. O:Solid pale ale from Cigar City Brewing. In line style from a highly competent brewery. Fresh tropical and citrus hops combined with a held within bounds hop bite. Very solid drinker, if this was local to me it would be a go to brew.
