Can (6/3/21) pour from Brewtopia. It's a lightly hazy gold with light sparkle, 2-finger width transient foamy white head with no lacing. Aroma is light and what is there is bread and pine. Taste is initially floral then fading to cracker. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin, somewhat watery texture, soft carbonation and mostly cracker finish with light lingering dry bitterness. Overall, wow, I guess this is why it still pays to look at RB ratings (avg. score 3.01) vs. Untappd (3.82). This is surprisingly not good. Probably the worst Lawson's I've ever had. Why did they go through and put this out? Does it have a drop of Cashmere in it? Has there ever been an instance where so little was done with so much? I could go on and on. Even for a session it's not good. Don't waste your time.

Clear pale yellow. Big foamy head. Smell is mild floral IPA. Taste at first is rather crisp and refreshing then in the middle the IPA thing start to bitterly manifest itself. Towards the end a little of that session skunk cabbage veggie feeling starts to set in. Good start, decently rude finish. All without an alky IPA bump, blah. Pretty good co2 up front then it fades in the end.

Canned March 20, 2021, drunk May 1, 2021.
Pours a sparklingly-clear, white grape juice-to-brass colored body with a small, thin, white head atop, showing moderate-to-low retention.
Nose has some odd mineral/cracker/white grape things going on that really detract from the hop (usually love this hop), though the telltale deep spice character is there.
Oddly watery, a bit vapid - is this filtered?? Some weird wintergreen-meets-pear-meets-grape flavors that don't belong with bare, lightly-honey-laced, cracker malts, low bitterness and, at least, decent attenuation. Weird.

Pours clear gold into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Weed and resin aromas. Crisp with caramel and lemon/lime upfront turning to mild earthy pith and peel in the lasting finish.
