Fresh can drunk 9/3/17.
Lightly hazy, sunny orange-copper body topped by a rapidly fizzling, off-white head.
Wish I got more juicy guava in the nose, but instead it's dry, dry, dry. Very spicy, herbal and peppery notes with a very dry, cracker/biscuit-like wheat backing. Could use some more malt depth, it would appear, just based on the nose. Light citrus-like notes appear on the finish and it gets a bit softer with warming. No flaw or alcohol.
Very dry, extremely attenuated, but at least with a fairly supple texture that clearly is very wheat-driven. Lemon, spice and even a hint of light licorice are quite strong, though I wouldn't call it messy. Still, it seems like the malt is just too sparse to balance all of the adjuncts here and it comes off as too adjunct heavy, even if they are quite enjoyable.
