Can. Hazy yellowish golden colour with a mediumsized foamy white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is floral, fruity, some nectary tones with mild toffee too. Flavour is floral, fruity, some caramel malts, toffee and a bit hopburn to it as well.

Multiple cans to glass (yes, I pour it in a glass after taking the first sip from the can) over the years. Pours hazy yellow with full white head that lingers well. Overt topical and citrus fruit jumps out of glass on aroma. Flavor is similar with velvety mouthcoating. Sweet malt in support. Great beer.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours orange tinged hazy gold with a huge foamy white head that laced down slowly. Aroma of apples, floral, citrus and very light toffeeish malt. Med body. Flavor is earthy/dry/bitter. And this is a NEIPA! Flavor is somewhat of the aroma but add in some melon and zest. Amazing flavor.
