Super hazy orange coloured obyd with a very thin, single centimetre tall tan head that just leaves a small layer on top after a few seconds. Aroma of dank, dare I say, skunky hops with some pepper and deep floral notes, some noticeable malt and hop bitterness too, but seemingly fairly dry. Light to Medium-bodied; Crisp, floral and grassy profile at first with a soft orange and perfumey bite, but not much malt to speak of, nor any real complexities here, this is fairly straight-forward and pretty easy-drinking. Aftertaste has a very small amount of sweetness with the citrus fruits the strongest factor, but a fairly crisp and underwhelming malt bite and some light grassy notes are the only real flavours here - this is pretty mild, understated, plain and not-bitter. Overall, a decent beer at best, with some sweetness, fruit elements and light dryness at play, but that's about it and this one doesn't show much else or any deeper characteristics - not really worth trying to find this one and if you already have it - drink it now to get some flavour, at least. Somehow, this was still nice to try this one locally given that i've never seen this or any of this series! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Ye Old Spirit Shop in Frederick, Maryland on 29-November-2020 for US$5,39 while cutting down our family Christmas tree for the year, canned at the source on 18-June-2020, sampled at my house here in Washington on 23-January-2021.
