Can from Trader Joe's in Novi. Pours a clearish gold with a full 2 fingers of foam that lingers. Malty nose with some oxidation and citrus peel. Palate is similar, right at the bb date, so definitely not in prime condition. Will revisit.

12 ounce can at Bowman’s Tavern in New Hope, PA. Yellow gold pour. Small creamy beige head. Fresh, earthy malt aroma has citrusy hop notes. Light, biscuit malt backbone. Fresh citrus flavor hints at tangerine, lemon, lime and pineapple. Clean and crisp. Fresh and full. Yumm!

2 month old can A: Poured a lightly hazed pale gold with a small swirl of sediment. 1 of white head held up well and left a clinging ring of lace. S: Muted scent of lemon, wheat crackers and a bit of sugar. T: Follows the nose with bright lemon, spicy peppery notes and light wood. Brief pithy toasty aftertaste. M: Very light, crisp and creamy but a bit thin. Clean and refreshing. O: Simple but refreshingly drinkable. A nice summer session ale.

16 oz. draft. Hazy pink color. Aroma is light lactic acid with blueberry hints. Flavor shows soft tart berries throughout with some mild sweet sugar in the finish. They managed to make the sweet tart candy work. After half a pint it was more than enough.

16oz can. Poured a hazy golden yellow color, medium sized fluffy white head. Aroma was herbal hops, light juicy notes. Floral hops. Flavor was really nice bright juicy hops, not balanced - light malt backing with a little grass on the finish. Really good stuff.

Ridiculously hazy, perfectly opaque deep orange, straw and copper coloured body with some faint golden tints and a thin, fast-fading off-white head. Aroma of yes, orange juice, flowers, lemons, citrus, grass and some noticeable sweetness without too much else. Light-bodied; Sharp grassy and citrusey flavours show first with a lot of acidity and some light bitterness from the hops, but with a soft sweetness and almost no malts to speak of make this a lot hoppier and drier in practice, because it's off-balance. Aftertaste shows the dry citrus, fresh-cut grass and very herbal flavours throughout with a light bitterness, some astringency from all the grass and high acidity, but lacking on both malt and complexities. Overall, a fairly straightforward and dry, unfiltered APA that shows the bitterness from hops and the dryness with some fresh-cut grass, but very little else aside from the citrus plus the aforementioned. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 14-September-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 21-September-2020.
