750mL growler filled 4/7/22, drunk 4/9/22. Moderately-to-heavily hazy, bronze-brass with a small, white head showing low retention. Somewhat juicy nose with citrus, light tropical fruit and hints of interesting white wine. Some earthiness to it too and/or notes of mineral, with a strong spiciness to the finish, as well as supportive, but dry cracker malt notes. No alcohol, twang, flaw. In the mouth it's fairly soft and malty, well-attenuated, with spicy pine, stone fruit and strong lemon-forward citrus character. Cracker malts on the finish with a big chalky hop particulate burst of bland, astringency on the end. Maybe too young? Great other than that, but it's definitely problematic.
