US Pint can (16oz) from a Trader Joes. Poured into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass at my daughter's in Laguna Hills. My first beer of my second holiday in California during 2025. Opaque dull orange, white crust. Citrus aroma and taste, nice easy going hazy IPA, lots going on and it's juicy from start to finish.

Can (8/24/22) from Andover Classic Wines. It's an opaque dark yellow (orange juice-y) with no sparkle, finger-width tight white foam head with good retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is moderately strong citrus, faint pineapple, and evergreen. Taste is strong citrus, pineapple, tropical fruit, late evergreen and candied fruit. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and crisp, fairly dry finish as taste. Overall, taste is stronger, sweeter, and more complex than aroma. Thought the body might be thicker with the wheat and oats. Nice.

The aromas are fresh citrus hops with some cut grass and a little resin. Flavors are like nose, just a touch on the fruity sweet side but with great carbonation and enough bitterness to balance. Very good body and satisfying finish. Really good drinking beer.

Tap at Stanley Beer Hall - milky pour - soft, creamy carbonation - gently herbal and citric nose - malt structure is quite lovely, and I find the herbal, citric, and peppery hop combo quite nice - I think it’s really nice.

Can shared in London - many thanks to Fergus. Pours murky yellow-gold with a frothy, white head. Quite grainy and sugary. Some sweet citrus fruits. Not very good.

Can. Slightly murky golden beer with a cream head. Tropical fruit and citrus aroma. Grapefruit and lemon flavor with summer fruit and sweet malt. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and summer fruit lingers with sweet malt.
