Can (10/30/20) pour. Appearance is cloudy yellow-orange with good amount of sparkle, 2-finger foamy white head with excellent retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong citrus and pine. Taste is strong, sweet lemony citrus balanced with danky, resiny pine with mild creamsicle. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, average carbonation and finish as taste with very little bitterness. Overall, not the most complex or novel beer in the world but strong aroma and flavor and there's nice balance. No hint of alcohol. Enjoyable!

Pours a very hazy, banana-yellow, with smallish head. Aroma has tropical and citrus fruit notes, basement dankness/sour washcloth, and even a touch of gasoline. Flavor is quite smooth. Lightly sweet, with citrus and tropical fruit. Alcohol content well-hidden. Builds to a nice level of pine/spruce hop bitterness in the finish. This is a good one.
