Fenway draught, 7/31/26.
Lots of adjunct, but they are pretty nicely homogenized amongst themselves. Results in a spicy, citrusy, almost smoothie-like character. Soft, nutty wheat-like character behind it easily balances the lower acidity.
Light-bodied but not thin. Wheat and malts provide a beery backdrop to the prominent but easygoing spice. Not quite as much orange smoothie character in the flavor, but still retains some impression of it.

16 ounce can from ShopRite Liquors in Mercerville, NJ. Hazy medium gold color. Rocky white head leaves spotty lacing. Zesty aroma of orange and fruit tea. Tangy flavor upfront. Tangerine, white grape, lemongrass, citrus zest. Light and refreshing. A bit of hay and clover to compliment the light fruit flavors.

Pours hazy gold into a willi. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Sour meadow, peppercorn and feet aromas. Crisp with sourdough, orange and white grape upfront turning to mild earthy pepper in the medium length finish.
