Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 09, 2020. Aroma is hop forward and fairly fruity with lots of orange, tangerine and grapefruit with lighter notes of passion fruit and stone fruit. Light cracker malt notes and hints for alcohol. Pours a pale, dusty, hazy, golden straw with a large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly hop forward with lots of orange, tangerine, grapefruit, mango and passion fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer. Solid hop notes with a light malt profile. Not super sweet but enough sweetness to make the bitterness seem not too assertive.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 08, 2020. Aroma is rather malt forward with nice notes of grain, bread, caramel and toasted dough. Light notes of woody, herbal hop character. Pours a slightly hazy, copper color with good hues on the edges and a moderately large, thick, frothy, slightly tan head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Flavor is somewhat sweet and very malt forward. Loads of bread and grain with lighter notes of toasted bread and caramel. Medium low bitterness and a hint of alcohol. Light woody, herbal hop notes with a hint of grass. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer that is very malt forward with a light hop character. The malt profile is a bit deeper and darker than a typical festbier, but it's still tasty.

16oz can pours a hazy, bright cold with some frothy, white head. Nose is very inviting, big citrus, lemons, limes, grapefruits, herbs, flowers. Flavor has citrus and more bitterness than juice, more orange and grapefruit then the others, some pineapple too, flowers still running throughout. Finishes dry, a bit of bitterness. Very easy drinker and pleasing to many palates.

Lime, with plenty of tang at the end. Lime juice vibe is strong. Hazy golden pour with good head. Tangy juice finish. Can.
