Can pour into nonic pint glass. Appearance is opaque dark yellow/light brown with no sparkle, 1/2-finger width cap of foamy off-white head with fair retention and light leggy lacing. Aroma is pleasant, sharp lemon citrus, tropical fruit, other fruit, dank, hint of herb. Taste is strong citrus, milder other fruit and herb notes. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, lively carbonation (a bit stinging to the tip of the tongue), mild numbing of the lips and dry, mix of sweet and lingering bitter finish. Overall, decent complexity and a flavor profile that's a little off the beaten path. The palate is a bit thin for the style and normally I like a softer carbonation for the style, though think it kind of works here.
