Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: golden copper color with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lemony & piney with a little bit of a slight "Lemon Pledge"-like undertone. Hmmmm...light malt notes, light fresh clean laundry/clean pillow sheet/perfumey
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to bittersweet to fresh sweet sort of quality; finishes sweet floral/perfumey to lemony
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, light smoothness, low hop bitterness, nice APA-esque carb level
Overall: though I've had APA's and IPA's with that "clean laundry" scent before and usually don't mind it, I do wonder a bit how or why it comes across the way it does and if it is intentional or not. Hmmm...

Can from Whole Foods: pours mostly clear gold with a white head. Aroma is very lemony, perhaps some other tropical fruit, but really lemon, but I might be wrong as that was kind of my first impression. Taste is very fruity with lemon hitting first. Some pseudo herbal things going on. Very low bitterness. Plus some sweetness. Smooth and soft mouthfeel. Pretty food.

Craft Islington. Bottleshare. Thanks to Mr Tipple for the can. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry and with good fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts bring a mild dry creamy sweetness. Good hop spice. Thin citrus. Light orange and orange peel. Thin hop spicy finish. Well hopped but the mouthfeel leaves much to desired.

Can at Craft Islington, big thanks to Mr Tips. It pours hazy yellow - gold with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, orangina, sugary, candy, lemonade and limeade. The taste is bitter - sweet, oily, quite clean. lemon - lime, tangy, juicy, lemonade and straw with a soft finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent enough, but lacks a bit of wow factor.
