473ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with average to huge, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity, slightly piney, minimally grassy, hoppy aroma, oaty and wheaty malty background, notes of lemon, lemongrass, some woody pineapple, a touch of quince and kumquat, limoncello and lemon peel. Taste is moderately bitter, citrusy fruity hoppy, oaty and slightly wheaty malty basis with very low residual sweetness, notes of lemon, lemon peel, some kumquat, zesty bitterness, mild citric tartness.
Minimally creamy, watery texture, smooth and slightly dry palate, medium, dense, foamy, mildly prickly carbonation.
Wonderful, multifcatted nose with quite some subtleties, more restrained, lemon-focussed taste, light, refreshing, drinkable - pretty good.

0,473l can from Drikbeer online store. Canned 02/26/25. Murky light yellow beer with good and stable head. Aroma and flavor is malts, hops, fruity notes and yeast. Quite dry, easy, hoppy and clean. Bit watery.

Draft pour at Dominion Wine and Beer. Poured a slightly hazy, light orange, yellow color with a small, wispy head. Creamy, some dusty hop. Light bitterness, orange zest. I normally like Citra, but maybe this needed some additional dimension to it.

Could crush these. So much flavor. R+B’s castle series is up there with Fidens for pale ales.
Grilling up some chicken, edible, thinking about Gay Lincoln. Just a typical Friday night.

Rip City and I’m not talking about Portland. Creamy citra, little hoppy finish. Just spectacular. Let the boss’s dog Angel out after work beer.
