12 ounce can thanks to hershiser2! 6/12/23. Hazy gold, large white head, average retention. Aroma of citrus, bready malt. Taste is grapefruit, melon, apricot, lemon, bready malt. Juicy, well balanced. Nice.

16oz can. Brewed in May, drank in December. A pretty straight up lemon ale, complete with the at dishwashing detergent aroma, a touch of buddha's hand. Drinkable sure, but not so far removed from Radlers and other BS. Quite unimpressive for Allagash.

Light gold pour. Thick foamy white head. Bubblegum, floral, and grass flavor. Light bodied with easy carbonation. Easy and light drinking.

16 ounce can. Pale yellow gold color. Small creamy beige head. Lemony malt aroma. Soft, sweet lemon zest flavor. Some bitterness upfront. Sea salt notes are subtle. Light and refreshing. Brief, bitter finish.

Canned 5/5/22, drunk 6/30/22. Clear bronze-brass. Small, fleeting, white head. Lemon-peel-tinged Belgian esters with honey and biscuit behind it. Light phenolics, no alcohol or flaw. Soft and malty with big honey and biscuit notes leading to an acidic lemon peel finish without much of any salt. I guess I get the lemony character being refreshing but to me it's just a bit fatiguing given the acid and astringency. More sea salt could blunt the the acidity, but I get almost no salinity. Very pedestrian.
