5% drunk from the can it has a sweet malty lemon iced tea aroma. Medium bodied with a soda like carbonation. An earthy bitterness and those sweet tea like notes. A bit of toffee in the finish, ok.

Despite the fact this beer gets slammed. I thought it wasnβt too bad. It was light, fruity with mild hoppiness. No where near a traditional bitter, but good cross over beer for the masses. I canβt complain about this beer too much, though certainly nothing something I would want to have every day.

Pours light amber, some white foam and aggressive bubbling carbonation at first, sets down pretty soon. Aroma is not very spectacular, has this sweet wet paper cardboard aroma but nothing offensive. Taste is actually not that bad, it has some smooth malt-forward bread beginning and ends up in a quite serious lingering bitterness. No aroma his used but definitely fair amount of bittering ones. Overall, not a bad try from the big guys, can imagine myself drinking this again. Well, maybe.

Can. Nice citrus nose, light biscuity malt, lemon, grass, crackers. Deep orange to gold. Sweet, but low bitterness. Decent, though itβs really just an APA.
