Mostly clear golden coloured body with a thick, but very fast-dying just off-white head that fades quickly and leaves absolutely nothing up top. Aroma of coriander seed, curacao, light oranges and a good wheat kick with some soft yeast and breadiness that brings out a lot of dryness, in the nose. Light-bodied; Grassy and very herbal flavours at first with a crisp wheat and coriander seed note with a lot of pepper and floral qualities at the end with a smooth full lot range and curacao finish that brings out a hint of sweetness, but this really is about how dry it is throughout. Aftertaste shows the floral, grassy and especially coriander seed freshness here throughout with a crisp bite with some lightish bitterness with a dry pepper note at the finish and some very subdued sweetness, but a great balance throughout. Overall, a very nice, incredibly dry and crisp beer with a lot of floral, grassy and especially spicey notes with the curacao and coriander seed (as you'd expect for the style) playing a big part. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 18-December-2021 for US$2,59 sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-July-2022.

Can, from the brewery. Pours faintly cloudy lemon yellow with large foamy off-white head, faint citrus aroma, medium carbonation, mildly bitter citrus peel taste, thin body, long finish. Decent, but not too exciting considering all that hops.

RBJG2. Dark brown colour, creamy bubbly head. Aroma is bit roasty, some hoppiness. Taste is bit boozy, touch of coffee. Some sweetness. Pretty nice. Wish I had tried this earlier in the evening as I feel I might have missed something.
