Can, 0.44l. Hazy orange pour, one finger frothy white head, medium retention, sticky lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, juicy, tropical fruits, citrus, grassy notes, pineapple, mild coconut in the background. Medium body, medium carbonation, lively. Average mouthfeel and texture, somewhat lightweight, slightly fizzy, easily drinkable. Bittersweet taste, more on the sweet side, light sour notes in the background. Aroma of caramel malt, oats, tropical fruits, citrus. Pineapple, coconut, candy. Grassy notes, spice. Slightly sticky. Medium lasting finish, dry, grassy. Good but somewhat underwhelming.

Can at Goblet. Murky golden body, off-white head. Green aroma, bit appley, some stone fruit, brown sugar. Sweetish malty taste, bit citric, odd dul fruitiness, white sugar (?!). Just weird, and so's the difference between can rates and tap rates... might rerate on tap, might not... it wasn't thrilling like this.
