Slightly hazy orange and light copper coloured body with a very large two to three centimetre tall frothy tan head with a yellow and golden glow. Aroma of citrus, dry grain, grass, flowers, perfume and a good deal of hay - very strong in the nose. Medium-bodied; Very rich dry and grassy flavour dominates at first with hay, flowers, grain and a light hint of sweetness with some extra bitterness from the grapefruit. Aftertaste shows the floral and piney flavour with a lot of alcohol and bitterness around, some soft citrus with a supportive malt, but the astringency and medicinal flavours make this seem stronger than it actually is - I think it's the Azacca. Overall, not such a great beer, as the hops and pungent flavours dominate with a grassy, dry, herbal note instead of a soft, sweet and citrus character - but not bad at all - good if you like the Azacca varietal! Passable if you don't, considering how many other better options there are for this style. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 06-January-2020 for US$3,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 29-March-2020.
