Can. Gifted to me from the brewer. Very fresh, less than 1 month old. Nice hoppy nose, I am getting Nelson white grapes, tropical notes, possibly Mosaic. Very nice. The malt is very light in the background, just a touch of crackers. Very pale gold with an airy head and quite fizzy. Again, lovely hop flavors, mostly white grape, also citrus. Not very malty, but sweet and fruity. Very light body, as expected in a lager from a tropical area. The brewer said that they idea was to make a SW Asian style light lager with craft levels of hops. He definitely succeeded. I would drink this all day in the Japanese summer, let alone in the tropics. Best beer I have had from Buckskin--I think the freshness helped a lot.

Can. Pours a properly cloudy deep gold with a large, frothy head. Big yeasty nose of cloves, banana, and some citrus, with wheaty biscuits. Bright and fruity, sweet wheat biscuits, clove and banana, notes of orange. Pretty nice stuff over all.

Can. Malty, bready, biscuity nose with light herbal hops. Hits the style, just not so expressive. Clear medium gold with a medium head. Sweet flavor, somewhat fruity, a bit grainy, light herbal hops. Somewhat thin in body and somewhat oxidized. Feels not so fresh, and also like it's being made to drink in hot weather. Not bad, but not what I was hoping for.

Quite sweet, with a slight metallic bitterness. Moderate body, quite foamy drunk from the can. Plays all the right hefeweizen notes, but is a bit too sweet.
