Taster at brewery. Pale yellow, hazy, thin head, but leaves streaky lacing. Faint citrusy aroma, grapefruit. Taste is spritzy grapefruit, pretty much it.

Can from either WW or Wegmans. It doesn't have the little pink thing on the top, so guessing WW. I duplicated my purchase. Need something sour after that sugar water shit excuse for a cider I just took 5 sips of and dumped. Pale gold, light haze. Nose is tart blueberry, lemon juice, green leaf. Tart blueberry, green leaf, lemon juice, bread crust. it cuts the sugar bomb I just had, but it's not great.
