16oz @ Ryan's shared with Phill.
Aroma: tropical fruits, some nice freshness, a little bit dusty.
Taste: along the same lines, a bit astringent, fruity bitterness.
Overall: pleasant.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg Oct 13, 2025; thanks Sammy). Hazy gold with small white head. Aroma of juicy orange. Taste of citrus, feint pith, stone fruit, slightly subdued, easy drinking.

Pours a nice hazy light yellow-orange from a can. Nice citrus aroma, similar flavor, really a great balanced beer very citrus fruit forward. Slightly over-alcohol-y, but really that's just a quibble. Very good beer.
