Can from Gambrinus. Light citrus and pine on the nose. Light body with muted carbonation on the palate. More citrus, pine and toasted caramel. Nelson is pretty subduded...I’m assuming this was an old can. Still enjoyable, but couldn’t find my good friend Nelson.

Can. A- Subtle pine, subtle white wine, tropical citrus fruit. A- Orange color, clear liquid, white head. T- Tropical fruits, slightly bitter, juicy, grapes, white wine, caramel. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Better than I thought. Might be over 8% but drinks like 4%. Lots of subtle nuances in the aroma and taste. It all blends so well it’s really hard to pick out any one flavor. Good work here.

can - Pours hazy orange and smells of citrus and pine accented hops. The flavor is aggressively bitter with tasty citrus notes and a solid, full malt body. Really good. More of an imperial IPA at 8.2%
