Can (5/15/25) from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Hazy pale orange-yellow, trace sparkle, thin head with poor retention, trace lacing. Aroma is mild citrus, florals, caramel and grain. Taste is stronger citrus, tangerine, slight pineapple, background malt. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, dry, yeasty, malty finish with mild bitterness. Hops are doing their best to hang in there given age. Fortunately, taste is best aspect but just OK now. Probably better when it was fresh.

16 oz can. No date code. Aroma is soft citrus, mild caramel, mild pale grain. Flavor follows with mild herb bitterness. Average body and texture. It is ok. Not much to get excited about. Good news is: no flaws or problems. Very old school APA.
