473 ml can. Pours a bright amber with moderate head. Aromas of dry dankish hops and bready malts. Flavors follow same with additional mineral water and bitter citrus; plus a ton of malts which bury the hops.

On tap at Beva, pours a clear pale copper with a small white head. Aroma is fairly nondescript, with gentle woody pine and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and bitter, with plenty of piney hops, some grassy—almost herbaceous—character to the hops, with a dry biscuity malt base. Good balance, nicely bitter, but I agree that the hop expression is not fully satisfying, though I do like this ultimately.

473mL can. Pours clear pale gold with a white head. Lots of dry woody pine, and resins on the nose; a bit of a floral, spicy character. Flavour is a bit more dialed back, still with woody pine and some floral notes, but more one-dimensional on the palate than the nose; maybe a bit vegetal. Malts are clean. It's good, but feels like it's missing something and the vegetal notes aren't great.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg July 31, 2026). Clear gold with full white head. Lightly bready malt with herbaceous hops and a resinous finish. A touch odd upfront, but okay.
