2019 Can from 8 Degrees Plato. Pours a clearish, hazy gold with a full finger of fluffy white foam that lingers. Solid lacing down the glass. Pine aromas with some light citrus, sweetarts, durian and lychee and leafy hops. Good carbonation on the palate. Some twigs, hefeweizen-like phenols, citrus, peach, sweetarts and a touch of booze. Lingering dank and pine with grapefruit zest. Not bad, but a little rough.

A wet-hopped ale that is hazy and juicy like a New England IPA. Big, fresh nose. Nice juicy palate. A bit weak on the finish.

Refrigerated 16 oz. aluminum can from shrubber85 poured into a weizen glass. Slightly hazy golden with small white head. Aroma is wheat esters, medium body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is wheat esters. More like an American wheat ale rather than a Hefeweizen.
