(Can) Pale amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy off-white head. Malty, hopyp nose with orange peel, pine needles, pineapple, grapefruit, honey and herbs. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of orange peel, pine needles, pineapple, grapefruit, honey and a generous citric/herbal bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Strongish, but in good balance. Malt to match the hops. Tasty and well balanced. Very nice.

Can. Minimally cloudy pale yellow/orange with a small white head. Aroma of mild citrus fruits, a little bit of malts and stone fruits. Taste of citrus fruits, caramel, some tropical fruits, wort and minerals. Slightly spicy and herbal. Finishing on the drier side of things. Moderate bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Alright.

12oz can c/o Ryan. Fruity ale yeast, amber malt, caramel-toffee, maple. Really leans into the style hard. True, well done. Fruitcake amber-chocolate. Good stuff.

8.4oz can. Bright hop tone, some bitterness, but the hop choice just doesn't work. Really nice dryness, but the hop character just makes it feel off. Great body, poor hop choice.
