$3.95 pint can, Wine Warehouse. Looks like orange juice: murky orange with a large soft beige head. Aroma is very juicy too: orange juice mostly, but some grapefruit rind and grasses too. Flavor is juicy orange, grapefruit peel, floral hops, light green leaves. Very tasty.

Can from Wine Warehouse. Pours slightly hazy pale golden with a large, soft off-white head. Aroma is heavy coriander, banana, yeast. Flavor is slightly sweet banana, coriander, light citrus, bread crust. Finishes with a bit of juicy orange coming out of the crust. By looking at my old rating, this does seem to be different, though I can't specifically remember it.
