473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy straw colour with a medium, frothy, short lived, white head that leaves curtains of lace. Mild aroma of bready pale malt, funky yeast, lemon zest and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, lemon zest, funky yeast, white pepper and grassy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Clean, refreshing and crushable.

Tasting at Ryan's, can
Golden colour, just slightly hazy. Aroma of malt and fruit. Sweet upfront, but medium body; some caramel and toffee, not malt-deep; strong alcohol. Ok.

Poured from 355mL can (pkg 23 Feb 2022; thanks Cindy). Clear deep gold with small off white head. I get the Fig Newton inspiration, feint wood, could use some more depth, but okay.

Poured from 473mL can (thanks Cindy; pkg 28/Feb/2023). Hazy dull salmon pink with white head. Saison yeast, mild esters, feint vinous notes, a bit perfumey. Okay, but a little bit rough around the edges, 8% abv is quite hidden.
