Interesting, with a dry, earthy backbone offset by a dense nuttiness and a mild grainy sweetness. Lychee, melon, lemondrops, and honeydew lead to a yeasty, herbal fade. A touch of unwanted tartness pops up in the fade, but otherwise a good pint.

Hazy golden coloured body with an off-white head, only two centimetres tall, with a nice and glowing raw honey tint. Aroma of alcohol, stronger hops and pungency from a the grapefruit and citrus qualities with still a good deal of malt providing a nice balance and some sweetness and fruits. Medium-bodied; Stong citrusey and very perfumey hops with some notes of resin, grass, hay, flowers and a relatively pungent malt presence along with some noticeable grapefruity and bitter profile with a lot of stronger notes, without much respite - perhaps some sweetness from the citrus fruits comes through, but the bitterness stands out as well as some of the alcohol punch and a dose of malt and grain. Aftertaste shows alcohol, grain, pungent hops and earth with a little perfume and a whole lot of citrus fruits coupled with a large bitterness and relatively balanced beer that still shows some dryness and funk. Overall, a nice beer with a good malt backbone and bunches of citrusey and herbal hops and a pungent bitterness throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce pint sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Newport News, Virginia on 17-November-2019 for US$5,40 sampled on the train from Washington to New York on 05-December-2019.
