16 oz. can. Flavor has mild fruit, soft pine, and some herb. It doesn’t get overly sweet but there’s definitely a honey and sugar sweetness. The flavor is kind of all over the place. The positive is the booze is not really noticed.

Draft at the brewery taproom. Pours mostly clear gold with a creamy white head. Really intense hoppy aroma. A little cheesy in the nose, with notes of ripe lemon, hearty hops, grapefruit, tangerine. Medium sweet flavor with boosty alcohol kick, resinous pine, pale bread, grapefruit. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Hot finish, with quite punchy hop character, pine, citrus, harsh grassy bitterness. It’s interesting, I suppose, but it really just too much. No nuance, and not very drinkable.
