Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: copper to orange color with a two finger white foamy head which died off fairly nice to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney, orangey and grapefruity & some citrus zest with some caramel malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter to bittersweet quality; finishes citrusy and piney
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but also slightly a higher carb on this? I think
Overall: great aromas and flavors but please lower the carb, thank you.

Spotty off white head on a hazy golden coloured body. Medium bodied, smooth with a spritzy back.
Lime, zesty, boiled sweets & citrus tastes with a tangy finish.

473ml can, hop bill now includes Cascade - "Chinook, Columbus, Cascade" written on my can. Pours a clear golden with a white head. Aroma of resin, pine, grapefruit, caramel. Taste is the same, resinous and piney with orange and grapefruit, sweet caramel malts, a little marmalade, good bitterness though the sweet malts counter it a bit too much, would've liked stronger bitterness given this is a westie. Medium bodied. Still, good effort for a haze merchant.
