16 oz can I to a pint glass. Mostly clear light orange amber. Full lasting sandy head. Grassy hop aroma. Pale sweet malts and a fairly papery hop flavor. Decent but lacking the fresh citrusy hop flavors.

Nice looking beer, beautiful creamy head, but aroma and taste are sort of bland, watered down tasting. Finish is just dry, no other lingering flavors in this.

16 ounce can - grabbed this to round out a mix-a-six because nothing else looked interesting - pours a cloudy copper with a thick, soapy, well-sustained head - nose is dry, with strong pine hop character, mild citrus, but also a cheese rind quality, as well - flavor is a tiny bit sour and acidic up front, but it smooths out quickly - some toasty grain, bread - light notes of grapefruit pith and orange rind - pepper hops with medium high bitterness in the finish - finish is a little overly acidic - seems like a solid recipe, but may not have translated well into the canned product as it could have.
