Canned 2/12, drunk 4/6/24. Top pour is clear bronze with a small, fleeting, off-white head. Initially there are gummy fruits, light grapefruit and melon with biscuit and cracker malt. Light pine but no resin or booze. In the mouth there's an excellent watermelon and bright tangerine character. I decided to add the bottom of the beer while swirling and it completely removed that bright character. It adds more texture and there is a hint of the watermelon with a bit of crystal malt, pine and grapefruit. Not too bitter, certainly not resinous. Nicely-attenuated. Clean. Pretty decent amount of malt.
