Poured from can thanks Chris, golden with a slight haze and thin white head. Aroma and flavors show notes of citrus pith, grapes, floral tones and light booze in the finish.

16 oz can from a trade. Aroma and flavor are a mirror. Juicy, grapes, mild floral, good mouthfeel. Mild boozy hint after the sip. Overall, decent.

16 oz. can from a trade. Clearly the best I have had from this brewery. (Visited in Nov, 2017) grapefruit juice appearance. Thick foam on top the liquid. Good flavor; Tropical, floral, herb. Mild juice. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. (Of course fucking lactose sugar was used. Seems to be ALL the rage in 2018!) No bitterness at all. I would be more impressed if lactose sugar was not used in the recipe.
