Illegibly-dated can drunk 7/2/25.
Fully collapsing head quickly to nothing. Moderately-to-heavily hazy, lemon-bronze.
Really light, bright nose with a bit of spice, stone fruit, lemon and juicy tropical fruit. Honey-like malt gently supports. Clean, no resin or weirdness.
Big and malty belting its size with spice, tropical fruit, lemon and maybe a bit more Strata-derived pineapple than I'd like. But that's my only complaint. Otherwise this is clean, malty, very flavorful, balanced and appropriately bitter.

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a decent white head. Aroma is peach, mango, citrus and more. Tingly sensations. Arguably med body. Juicy and not dry, but far from sweet. Stunning moderate bitterness. Green guava, mango, peach, citrus and more for flavor. Amazing for such low ABV.
