Wow, what a hop profile, so many new and flavoursome hops to geek out on! Wait? You added lemon peel? What the fuck for? Lemondrop not lemon enough already? Oh well. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, has a reasonable amount of fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Softish malts, a nice light level of creamy sweetness. The hops initially continue the nose which reminds of Orange Maid ice lollies and I suspect comes from the Lotus hops. Touch of soft pineapple from the Sabro and Sultana/Denali hops. Soft tangerine, 7270? Lemon peel on the back end, probably from the added peel, doesn't have that light Lemondrop feel. Smooth light finish. Nice beer but with these hops, adding fruit seems a guild of the lily.

473ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of lemon, tangerine, some orange. Taste is bitter and citrusy fruity hoppy, concentrated notes of lemon, lemon drops, some lemongrass, hints of tangerine, orange with some zesty aspects, slightly sugary, pale and crystal malty basis. Texture is watery with explicit hints of dissolved crystals (like sugared or salted water), minimally cloying palate, prickly carbonation. Quite sugary on one hand, intense and condensed citrusy hoppy flavours on the other - pretty much OK overall.

Crowler. Pours a hazy light gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has light citrus rind and tangerine with a bit of tropical fruit and some sweet grains underlying. Flavor combines citrus rind and tangerine with a growing light guava note and a sweet grain backbone.

Pint can from Woodman's Appleton, 5/24/20. Hazy orange, large frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of floral, leafy hops, orange and lemon. Pale malt. Tropical hints. Smells bright. Taste is lemon, orange, pineapple, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy. Well balanced. Nice.
