Can from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Lightly hazy, pale, golden yellow with nice sparkle, large frothy head with good retention and rings of lacing. Aroma is strong orange, berry, florals, white grape. Taste is pale malt, lemon, floral. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Nelson apparent in the aroma but wish was more in the flavor. Decent.

16 oz can. Flavor notes of peach, and grapefruit, alongside subtle honey like malt. The bitterness is light herbal / piney tones. Texture has a really nice crispness that gives it a refreshing quality. Real good.

Canned 5/28/25, drunk 7/9/25.
Mostly clear, deep brass-golden with a firm, white head that slowly recedes to partial cover.
Rich spice and unripe guava with a bit of tangerine and lemon juice. Not too acidic and while it's quite hoppy, per the style, there's still room for some honey-like maltiness to balance. Clean and crisp finish.
Light mineral, lemon, tangerine and guava with a good spiciness and modest bitterness. Honey and cracker-like malts balance appropriately and there's good depth and attenuation.

LCI. Crushable WC, definitively Citra and Nelson. Bright.

Pours a lightly hazy, pale golden yellow, with mid-sized head. Aroma is quite muted, with cracker, grass, pine. Flavor a bit more pronounced--cracker, citrus, grass, pine. Clean, crisp mouthfeel.
