Orange zest, elderflower, butterscotch, and pine sap. Sweet and malty, with a big, smooth, resinous bitterness. Medium to heavy body, slick, and zesty. Aggressive, balanced, and tasty.

Gas station can, consumed at the beach. Fairly clean, the malts having a touch of chewiness but not a lot. Light alcohol, but less boozy than you'd expect, because there's a fair amount of bright hops, citrus, pine, a generic mix. But the balance was pretty good.
