Pint can, WW... buried behind the stash Drake brought. Canned 8/6/20. Murky orange, tiny white head. Looks like juice, exactly like juice. Pine, cast piss, lactose, orange peel, mango nose. Lactose sweetness, mango, light mint, light basement, lime zest, light orange peel. Not a huge fan of the style, but this isn't bad.
