Can, undated but fresh, drunk 8/31/17.
Low haze, though not clear. Lemon-yellow juju candy color, bright and transluscent with a big, frothy, white head showing moderate retention.
Lactose-meets-lime pulp-like nose is weird but interesting. Lightly juicy and with soft cream-of-wheat suggestions, as well as a bit of lactic character on the end. No resin. It smells like lime sherbet or lime gelato. Something like that. Very zesty and with some softness and blandness behind it.
Less aggressive than the Mosaic version, unsurprisingly, given the hop. Lots of meyer lemon and juicy tangerine notes over a soft, chewy, light but lightly chewy texture. Light floral/light lactic finish with no alcohol or flaw. These are pretty delicate (as they need to be for 3%) and not overdone with anything. Quite impressed.

Tap at Mama Lor's. Creamy nose, diacetyl or lactose? Oranges. PAle hazy gold with a low head. Very herbal flavor, too much, actually, with orange, lemon, some cream. Light body. Finish is herbal and a bit rough.
