Deep orange and almost ruby-tinted body with a lighter bronze glow towards the bottom, all with a relatively large four to five centimetre tall off-white and almost tan head that fades fairly slowly. Aroma of crisp, relatively strong oranges with some citrus and grapefruit zest and a dose of artificial sugars and perhaps a dose of grassiness and light hops towards the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Relatively strong citrusey and floral flavours at first with a tart flavour from the citrus fruits, but then switching to more of a bitterness and a good deal of light sweetness coming through as well, all while being very refreshing! Aftertaste is crisp, yet flavourful with the citrus notes really coming out and brightening everything up. Overall, a fairly nice, crisp and flavourful beer that shows the citrus side of things nicely while being flavorful and very easy-drinking. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased at the Phillips 66 Mini-Market in Spearfish, South Dakota on 26-June-2020 for US$2,13 sampled a few hours later in my hotel room here in Sundance, Wyoming on 26-June-2020 after hiking around Devil's Tower National Monument here in Wyoming.
