Can pour at Taste Central Florida night as well collect ticks. Light orange yellow thin head. Nose is citrus. Tastes of lemon orange citrus, light pine and bitter roots. Touch ginseng? Light bodied but fine enough.

I’m pretty surprised by these ratings. I thought this was great! Pours a cloudy golden, fluffy creamy head. Malts are dry but still a flavorful breadiness that doesn’t interfere with the hops. Nice soft natural carbonation and palate. Only complaint is that the hops are a tad too piney. That’s just personal preference, it’s really very pine resiny, a little more citrus would be nice. The degree of hoppiness is just right though.

Can from Publix. Hazy gold with a minimal white head. Aroma is malty with a hint of citrus. The flavor is sweet with some bitterness in the finish. OK, but it’s running with some much faster company just in my little sampling of FL beer from the local supermarket.

Sample at Dunedin House Of Beer. Hazy orange-amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of citrus, grassy hops and sweet malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.
