Orange and lemongrass aroma. Cloudy amber, huge head, good lace. Lilly, bubblegum. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Highly carbonated to the point of deforming the shape of the can. Nice flavor.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a fast-dying pure white head that starts off at about three centimetres tall and fades to just about nothing, but an ugly lace on the side of the glass. Aroma of grass, heavy malts, bread, pungent yeast and a very faint dash of citrus - not very citra-y here at all. Light-bodied; Very strong bready, yeastie and especially malty flavours dominate here with only a touch of light hops in the flavour of fresh cut grasses and apples/pears without any real citrus notes here aside from perhaps a faint blast of lightly artificially fruited oranges like a tic-tac or something. Aftertaste is mild, very malt and yeast forward and showing the bready flavours with a touch of hop bitterness, but nothing strong at all here - this is fairly bland and very predictable. Overall, a very dry, malty, yeastie and bready beer without much hops at all, especially those of the citra or any citrus fruit nuanced hop varietal. Not worth grabbing, no matter where it is, even if it's fresh on tap in Vienna, this is not worthwhile. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 23-July-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 31-August-2020.

At the source: pours gold with a white head. Aroma is dank hoppy fruit type things. Taste is not too bitter, but has nice tropical fruit flavors. Nice light body. Good wheat notes.

Sampled a few times at Black Squirrel, pours a murky, yellow/orange with some fluffy, white head. Nose is bright with citrus, some tropical fruit too, tangerine and orange, straw, some faint wheat notes. Flavor has some starchy fruit, tropical fruit too, floral, a solid level of citrus bitterness. Medium bodied, dry finish. Woah! Where did this come from? A hidden gem in the DC beer scene.

Fully draft pour at the brewery. Poured a very lightly hazy golden yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was nice orange peel notes. Delicious citrus notes. Very juicy, tropical fruits. Solid beer. Not a lot of wheat on this one.
