Can (5/20/25) from trade with CLW---thanks, Chris! Cloudy light brown-dark yellow, nice sparkle and head with decent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, white grape and hint of herb. Taste is grape, non-specific fruit (pear?), orange over biscuit base. Frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste with lingering dry bitterness. Decent complexity and nice balance.

16 oz can. Aroma has soft white bread with orange and over ripe tangerine. Flavour follows with the addition of peach and a touch of white wine. Plenty of fruit with a very subtle herbal hop in the finish. Not very bitter at all. But just enough for a little bit of balance. Very well constructed.

Draught at source: hazy with white head. Aroma is dank, citrusy, lightly piny. Some bitterness. Nice sweetness. Very well made. All the hops are nicely balanced against each other.

Bottleshare at CBJ. Thanks to LKS. Hazy gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy and semi dry palate, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Crisp pine, light but fairly bright orange and tangerine, mandarin. Mild hop spice. Light and semi dry finish. Tidy if somewhat unremarkable.

Can at home in NH. Picked up from the brewery. Canned five days back. Pours cloudy pale gold with a creamy, white topping. Dank as all get out. Medium sweet flavour, ample ripening citrus, some moderate piney bitterness, supportive malt backbone, mango, papaya, tangerine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Dank and fruity on the finish, slight piney-rindy bitterness, loads of fresh tropical fruit purée. Super fresh and tasty.

Can thanks to BillyT for the hook up. Birthday breakfast beer. It pours cloudy golden yellow to pale orange with a small but sturdy white head. The aroma is fresh and pungent, some greenness from the hops, pine, spruce, ripe orangey fruits, mango, passion fruit, peach cobble and tangelo. The taste is firmly dry, restrained but supporting bitterness, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, orange peel, tangerine, mango, spicy vibes, fresh pine, pine needles, spruce, green and some bready malts playing a supporting role. Finish is green and zesty. Medium body and fine to moderate carbonation. Balanced and hugely drinkable.
