Canned 8/17/21, drunk 10/31/21. Moderately-to-heavily hazy, pale-brass with light copper highlights. Medium-sized, well-retained, white head. Soft tangerine, floral notes and leafy, green, woody notes all seem quite soft and melded with the biscuit and light honey from the malt. Very soft, supple, low bitterness and lots of lemon, tangerine and hints of pine in the flavor. Malts are very well-attenuated but still provide ample honey-like character to easily balance. Light juiciness overall. Obviously the hops have heavily faded at this point, but this thing doesn't strike me as ever having been overbearing. Light, delicate, easy drinker. Hard to believe it's 7%

Can pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! A cloudy yellow with light, lazy sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with excellent retention and light lacing. Smells of muted pineapple with mix of sweet and tart lemony citrus. Taste is strong, tangy citrus and overripe pineapple rind, later bitter pine and cracker. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and mostly bitter and cracker finish. Overall, some nice elements here with taste exceeding aroma by a tick. A bit too carbonated and too bitter for the style.

Can from Colonial Hazy murky lemon straw color with a huge frothy bone white head that persists. Big citrus and earthy pine with a solid bready malt to back it up. Light chunk and alcohol in the feel.
