Can via the online shop. Bought a shit load on the strength of some of the good ratings on here. Starting with the oldest, canned 3 whole months ago. Got to say it looks boss. Opaque glowing gold. Very tidy swede is lasting and lacing. Nose is peach and apricot. Some ripe orange. Whiff of lime peel. Lightly oaty wheaty backdrop. Taste has its fair share of sweetness with just about enough pithy bitterness to level things up. Decent full mouthfeel. Bitterness rises on the finish. Solid without being spectacular, although that 12 weeks in the tin might be something to do with that.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Mid- to dark golden orange, hazy with a film of white head. Fruity aroma, lots of dank citrus, grassy notes, a touch of metal. Mostly sugary sweet taste with a little citrus-like dank hop bitterness near the finish. Medium to thick body for the ABV, medium carbonation. Decent if not their best outing.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, good size bubbly pale cream colour head and, it persists! Airy smooth palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Fluffy pale malts, a light but unshy creamy sweetness. Soft cooling pine. Soft citrus hops, touch of melon. Azacca quite recessed, a little lemony citrus on the back end. Light finish. Solid and clean if lacking th normal Azvex pixie dust.
