Can (5/14/25) from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Cloudy orangey-yellow with light sparkle, decent head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong lemon, mild herb and baguette crust. Taste is super strong lemon with herb and background bread crust. Frothy, fairly thick texture, lively carbonation, finish as taste that then produces surprising dry, moderate bitterness. Excellent strength for 4.7%. Kind of a strange mix of lemon and herb. Then ends on odd bitter turn. Liked it but didn't love it.

Can from the source. It pours murky blonde with a decent white head. The aroma is fresh, ripe stone fruits, juicy pineapple, peaches & cream, plum, candied lemon, weedy, dank, hop slurry, touch of spent grain and light rawness. The taste is dry, bitterness which builds, candied lemon, waxy peel, plum, pineapple, underlying sweetness, fragrant, floral, rather green, weedy, slightly raw, dank, floury bread, slightly chalky and peppery spice with a drying, bitter linger. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Decent enough hazy, but lacks the Alchemist wow in my opinion, particularly the flavour as opposed to aroma.

16 oz can. The aroma is grass and floral on top of malt. Kind of pungent. Flavor has baked bread and softer malt. The hops provide pine and soft florals. Pretty well balanced. Just the right amount of bitterness. Nice brew.

Pours a hazy, golden-banana color, with mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, malt, some grain. Flavors follow. Mouthfeel a touch thin. Moderate hop bitterness running through the finish.

Canned 8/14, drunk 8/30/24, at the brewery. Moderately-to-heavily hazy, blonde-golden. Big, well-retained, white head. Malty, grainy, dare I say a touch worty? Floral and lightly piney hops behind it. Clean and snappy. Lighter, but bright and hoppy. Soft, malty, lots of biscuit and barley, could say a bit of wort but I can't imagine it actually is. Just sweet grains, I guess. Mix of fruity and piney hops. Shorter finish with a light body, but not thin. Like the bitterness level for its size (high), and yet it's not resinous.

16 ounce can from Pennie’s Wine & Spirits in Provincetown. Number one with a freak flag 🏳️🌈❤️🏳️⚧️❗️ Hazy yellow gold pour. Frothy white head. Perfumy, tropical fruit aroma. Flavor is tangy citrus with notes of tangerine, lemon, passion fruit and mango. Incredibly flavorful for such a low ABV brew. Well done.
