Went through a four pack, final can was poured into a stange, here are my thoughts.
Appearance: slightly hazed over burnt orange color with remnants of transparency closer to the edges of the glass with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace to leave some light lace.
Aroma: sweet and floral lavender meshes with the tart wheat, salt and lemony tones of the gose base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas sweet, sour, tart and a touch of savory, finishes with the salt, tart and lavender sweetness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness rolls across the tongue nicely with a touch of tart abrasiveness, nice expected kick of the wheat but also a bit more subtle than other goses
Overall: love how the creativity of the brewers looked at the style and want to add just a little something extra that seemed like it would blend fantastically and that's what Bent Hill did. This was the beer that told me Bent Hill took a 180 and started brewing differently and extremely way better than what they formerly did.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a finger and a quarter of foamy white head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: strong citrusy hop tones, semi-sweet tropical hoppy tones, light sweet grassy hops with a touch of hop spice, mild clean malts
Flavor: bittersweet combining those prior noted aromas; clean finish of citrusy/tropical/grassy hops
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, clean smooth tones across my tongue
Overall: a highly pleasurable NEIPA more than worthy of coming back to.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: one and a half finger-ed white foamy head slowly dissipates to leave very little lace, clear to yellow tinged body
Aroma: sweet clean rice, moderate lager-y notes
Flavor: crisp clean rice in a semi-sweet way
Texture: light bodied, smooth with a slow clean finish
Overall: IMO, a nicely done Japanese rice lager worthy of having again preferably with some sushi.

Can, undated, from the shelf, drunk 7/15/24. Almost spurts upon opening, despite a long, cool rest. Doesn't smell infected, so it must have been underattenuated and refermenting on the shelf. Massive head, white. Clear, beeswax yellow-brass body. Smells like a Kolsch, at least. Definite identifiable Kolsch yeast, though with heavy honey and angel food cake alongside it. Clean. Not too sweet, as it's heavily refermented in the can. There's a very strong phenolic character and an almost wine-like flavor, as well. The sugars certainly are all gone. Kolsch yeast comes through. But yeah, rough around the edges, to say the least.

Can from my brother: pours gold with a white head. Aroma is grainy, herbal, slight fruitiness. Taste is herbal and raw tasting. Could have been way more refined.

Can from Roots The Restaurant: pours dark amber with beige head. Aroma is caramel, toast, not very much maple. Taste is toasty, sweet, lightly bitter. Robust. Not bad.

16oz can pours a pulpy gold with lots and lots of frothy white head. Nose is nice, big on flowers, honey, orange blossom, potpourri, deodorant. Flavor is pulpy, more citrus finally, flowers, orange blossom, some melon finally, clear oaty texture. Finishes pillowy. Unique.

On tap at the public house neat Queechee Gorge. Lightly hazy light gold in color with a decent bubbly off white head that slowly dissipates. Juicy fruity citrus and light earthy grass against a sweet bready maltiness. Pretty Nice beer.

Tap, at the brewery. Pink pour. Foamy head. Drinks like a fruited pale. Light sourness. Creamy vanilla. By this point things were blurry. Couldn’t be bothered making notes, hence the shit review. Sorry.
