(473ml can from somewhere...it's a backlog!) Pours near-opaque yellow-gold with a thick white head and lace. Notes of lime zest, grapefruit zest and pulp, some soft tangerine and mandarin sweetness, a little lime/lemon pulp as well, green melons, not a ton of stone fruit sweetness, malt body is quite dry for style and very plush/oaty in feel, some slight doughiness, dank edges, finish is bone dry, lightly bitter, touch of citrusy tang, lots of lime and grapefruit peels, some citrus pith, a little guava/papaya floral quality as well. Aftertaste is lots of lime peel and citrus pith with a healthy helping of green melon and a little berry quality. Medium-bodied, smooth creamy carbonation. Definitely on the 'green' side but in terms of fruit colour rather than hop burn. Nice!
