440ml can from the Wee Beer Shop. Gluten Free. Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of floral citrusy hops. Taste is sweetish, malt, grain, biscuit, fruity, citrus, with a woody pine hint and flowery hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

16oz can pours a clear gold, a little white head. Immediately, this smelled and tasted like jasmine. Nose opened to floral notes, honey, dandelion. Don't really get Amarillo, mostly a little bland Citra and some Mosaic. Flavor has simple grist and flowers and then a little mosaic. Lightly sweet, lightly watery finish.
