Dark clear, but crazy coloured purple and even grey coloured body with a large, but fast-dying tan head, on top of the crazy clear, beautiful-ish purple and indigo glow. Aroma of light grassy and herbal hop notes, a little bit of sugar, some biscuity malts and clean, crisp lager yeast scent. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong crisp citrusey, grassy and herbal flavours show up at first with some nice actual floral flavours with jasmine and lavender noticeable as well, with a pretty soft maltiness that brings out th elight hops and smooth sugars - a subdued but noticeable complexity. Aftertaste shows a good balance throughout, with more of the grassy and especially herbal notes the strongest, but some sugars, malt, light hops and lager yeasts are all still noticeable. Overall, a nice complex and funky beer that still tastes great and while crazy looking, especially on the pour, the lagerness is slightly hidden and more complexity emerges - very nice to have this one local and fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 23-August-2021 for US$3,75, canned on 23-June-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-September-2021.
