Hazy amber and copper coloured body with a large, dense tan head, about six centimetres tall. Aroma of bright hops, alcohol, nutty and earthy malts, a dose of citrus and a good deal of sweetness noticeable at the end. Medium-bodied; Noticeable bitterness up front with a dose of hops with some more assertive malt notes with metal and a touch of sweetness on the end from honey and caster sugars. Aftertaste shows some light bitterness, a bit of grain, a hint of metal and astringent flavours and ending with a lighter touch of citrus and pine. Overall, a decent beer with some good malty notes and only a touch of the hops, but a good balance throughout with a more malty-than-expected body. Nice to try, but not really worth searching out for! I sampled this sixteen ounce pint-sized can purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 31-May-2017 for US$3,44 sampled at home in Washington on 17-August-2017.
