Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: cardboard orange to brown sort of color with a finger and a quarter of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some lemon to guava hoppy notes up front with a light piney hop in the secondary; light clean malts underneath; subtle herbal/tea-like aspect in there too
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a semi-herbal/tea note to a sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes somewhat like drinking hop tea and malts with some lemon with a light dry crisp note to it
Texture: between light and medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; slight smoothness to this; low hop bitterness
Overall: I think I get what they were trying to do here and I'm not entirely sure if it was executed the way they wanted it to be, the finish seems weird but I couldn't quite right figure out if that was entirely off. I think I could come back to this? Yeah, I think I could.

5 oz. Draft. Flavor is melon, light lemon, subtle herb. Very mild bitterness but here. Crisp texture with a drying feel.

5 oz. pour at the brewery in Kittery. Aroma is strong sweet nonspecific fruit with slightly less strong herbal. Appearance is opaque dark yellow-light brown with nice sparkle, finger-width off white foamy head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Taste is strong fruit (berry?, tropical? stone?) and hay and grain. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with smooth texture average carbonation and dry crisp finish as taste with lingering yeast and moderate bitterness. Overall fruit is nonspecific but good strength of aroma and flavor. Good other features but a bit dry.

Can from Jeff, thanks for the hookup! Hazy lemon yellow with a tightly bubbled white head that recedes. Lemon citrus earth fruit with a decent bready malt backbone.
