16oz can from Tavour. Hazy yellow pour, initial fluffy white head settles down to thin skin. Faint citrusy aroma, lemon. Taste is very light, soft, bready, notes of lemon. Very quaffable, and Crushable.

Pours a slightly hazy watery looking yellow straw. Lemony aroma and flavor, some graininess in the mouth as well. Good beer.

Can pour from Andover Classic Wines. Deeply hazy yellow, light sparkle, 2-finger head, excellent retention, light lacing. Aroma is floral and bright citrus--lemon and grapefruit. Taste is sweet citrus and spicy herbal with biscuit malt. Good body for ABV, smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and crisp finish with lingering dry bitterness. Good strength and complexity for a 4% session.

Passion fruit and lemon zest. Murky orange pour with good head and lacing. Soft nearly clean finish. Seltzer kind of sense. Pleasant and easy drinking. Light bitter finish. Tap at Rustico.

Pours hazy pear into a shaker. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Lemon/lime and hay aromas. Crisp with sweet hay and lemon upfront turning to sourdough and marshmallow in the earthy, medium length finish.
