Ridiculously hazy deep, chunky orange and golden coloured body with about 85 per cent opacity and a very thin, single centimetre tall off-white head that at least stays atop for a while. Aroma of grass, citrus, hay, flowers, lemons, limes and a good dose of both lactose and leftover alcohol. Medium to bordering on Full-Bodied; Rich syrupy and smooth, creamy malts show at first, but go down very easily with some orange juice and lemons right behind with a dose of perfume and hay-like notes at the end that give some relief from the relatively strong metallic and slightly astringent flavours from the alcohol and associated warmth that hits at the end. Aftertaste is drying, fairly crisp from the floral, grassy and especially citrusey aspects of the beer - mostly the hops, but the balance here is struck right and leaves a great finish here, with some alcohol, warmth and pungency, but what you'd expect from the style. Overall, a nice option, well-balanced, still flavourful and complex, while being fairly easy-drinking, not pungent, not cloying and tasting closer to 8,0% abv, which is nice - glad I brought this one back home with me and drank it fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 04-November-2021 for US$5,69 sampled at my house here in Washington on 21-November-2021.
