Capped 750 from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours translucent darkish gold with a very foamy/fizzy off-white head. Aroma is so light the Clementine zest on my hands from peeling one hides it. Maybe there’s some lightly roasty malt. Med body - with lots of frothy carb. There’s a bitter bite. Assuming it’s hop. If pressed, I’d hypothesize citrus. This stuff has flavor (hard to describe), bitterness, hop (hard to describe). Certainly drinkable, but kind of old school? Maybe I’m spoiled, but super Bud Light with flavor is odd. But it is certainly not a drain pour. On reflection I’m taking this down a point.

Bought locally.

It pours a 24K gold, has a 2 finger head of foam that does well with the lacing.

It has a grassy smell to it along with some earthy malty notes and grain

I can’t say I taste any grassy hops; a mild, hard to describe bitterness, with an earthy maltiness that hits my tastebuds like umm..rotten fruit? Rotten vegetables? Man, I can’t go on with this one. It’s the drain for yee.
