A little too sweet. Also very hungover, so that's not helping.

Can pour into nonic pint glass. Appearance is cloudy dark yellow/orange/light brown with a fair amount of fine, dark floaties, tons of sparkle, finger-width foamy off-white head with poor retention and trace lacing. Aroma is citrus and a strong bready/cracker malt backbone. Taste is lemon and orange citrus with late caramel malty breadiness. Palate is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, light numbing of the lips and alcohol warmth and finish as taste. Overall, this can was elderly (7 months old) so I suspect this was more heavily weighted to the hops in its fresh form. As is, the hops don't stand out relative to the level of malts. Will have to try again at some point.
