Canned June 1, 2020, drunk 11/12/22. TJ coming through HUGE on the Leiny Spritzen mixed pack! Clear rose-blonde. White head to ring. Nose is nice, authentic grapefruit zest. Not much else but what's there is clean. In the mouth it's more seltzer than beer. Kind of stale-ish malt flavor with light grapefruit. Lingering grapefruit, soda water and a touch of white sugar-like malt character.

12 oz. tall skinny can bought at Total Wine - Melbourne, FL. Pours a clear straw color with a large white head and very good retention. Spots of lacing. Definite grapefruit aroma. The flavor is mostly seltzer with maybe a splash of beer (despite what the can says). Very light citrus flavor too. Crisp mouthfeel, thin body. Drinks like a soda. Better than a spiked seltzer, but that's setting the bar kinda low. Okay for what it is.

12 ounce can from Festival Northland, 2/27/20. Clearly going after the seltzer market but it still seems like a beer product. Clear pale yellow, thin fizzy white head, poor retention. Aroma of strong grapefruit and some grain. Taste is pale malt, grapefruit. Flavor is kinda bland but aroma is nice. Medium bodied, low carb, well balanced.
