Can: pours sort of hazy orange with white head. Aroma is citrusy, muddled hops, maybe old? Taste is sweet, ambiguous fruitiness. Low bitterness.

16oz can. Poured a very orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was big juice - tropical fruits, guava, huge pineapple juice. Sweet, but not overly sweet. Pleasant malt/grain notes. I enjoyed this one.

Super hazy golden and straw yellow coloured body with a very nice, two to three centimetre tall, barely off-white microfoamed head that stays afloat for a long time and almost looks nitrogenated! Aroma of grass, hay, grapefruit, pure flowers and a good deal of both malt and especially astringent alcohol. Medium to Full-bodied; Very rich, ultra malty bite at first that shows a slightly smooth wheatie note, but still thick that fades to a very juicy, orange-y and melony flavour, complete with some lactosey and almost creamy, vanilla notes that hit with a rich caster sugar sweetness towards the end along with some noticeable alcohol, but that is tempered, due to the sweetness. Aftertaste is fairly clean, but very rich still, with a lot of malts, a slightly dry bite with a good hit of alcohol and hop bitterness, but with the majority of sugars derived from the fruits, this finishes about how I expected it to, before opening the can. Overall, a nice beer, that is very true to the style, aside from the nose, where all fruits were missing! My 1st from the brewery, but a pretty good start, nice to have relatively locally and fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 27-November-2020 for US$4,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 02-December-2020.
