Can. Almost clear pale gold with a good cm of white head. 6+ Shy citrus aroma with hints of stone fruit. More expressive upon a taste with those fruit joined by peppery bitterness after firmish light bready malt. Not bad, let down by a tentative aroma.

Pours gold and bright. Medium head. Mosaicy taste and lots of pale malt. Low bitterness, though, like they can’t escape their hazy roots. So a bit like drinking a sticky onion bread and the poor nectaron had no chance. All told, it comes across like a bright hazy rather than WC. That’s okay, but a lost opportunity because this beer would fucking love some Chinooky bitterness.

On tap at Threefold. Pours clear gold with a white head. Dank and resinous nose. Flavour has lots of pine, resin, and dank oils. Good body. Nicely done.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear gold with full white head. Earthy, bready malt with subdued tropical and citrus hops, a touch muddled.

On tap at Threefold, pours a mostly clear dull copper yellow with a small white head. Aroma has a bit of juicy tropical fruits, some citrus tanginess, a hint of dankness, some grainy malts. Flavour has more dankness than the nose suggests, with some juiciness from the Nectaron, a bit of dusty earthiness, and dry bready malt to back. Not the most cohesive or clean hop expression, but the structure is good. Solid but CD-R Is far superior.
