Hazy, no head. Smells like diacetyl and sort of a non-alc IPA aroma. On the palate, it's got sort of an acidity, with a weak body. I'm really trying not to taste the diacetyl, but it's still there. I mean, there's not really any part of this that comes together in a positive way. Fuck. I hope this doesn't give me diarrhea tomorrow.

473mL can, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Nose brings an onslaught of chalk, some gentle hopburn, and generic muffled hops. Flavour has some chalky notes, with armpit, earthy hops, diacetyl, and a touch of onion. This is all kinds of egregious -- not just because of the chalk, but because of the oniony, armpity, and almost buttery character. This is sloppy and incompetent.

473mL can. Pours hazy yellow with no minimal white head. Aroma has a bit of pithy citrus and fresh grass. Flavour has pithy citrus, some thick malts, tons of chalk. Aggressively mediocre. Flight at brewery. Pours hazy pale yellow. Aroma has lemon citrus and a bit of grass. Flavour is juicy with lemon and grapefruit citrus. Pleasant amount of bitterness. Surprisingly palatable for a hazy, nice. 6-2-7-3-16=3.4
