Can to tulip.
Appearance: copper color with some transparency about it and a swiftly dissipating head, no lace.
Aroma: slight Belgian malts, lemony, mineral water, light grapefruits, grassines
Flavor: blends the prior mentioned aromas to a semi-sweet to crisp twang, subtle aftertaste of grapefruit and Belgian malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, light smoothness on tongue, finishes with grapefruit and Belgian malts
Overall: not bad for a Belgian pale, maybe again? It is somewhat odd, I must say.

Can from Steve. Lightly hazy yellow, ring of head, light viscosity and lacing. Aroma is strong lemon citrus. Taste is strong lemon--somewhat industrial, late malt. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, finish as taste with light bitterness. Not sure if the hops are going over as this is a bit malty, but the hops that are there are a bit off.

16 oz can, thank you tfontana for the share. Aroma is bold malt and soft florals. Flavor follows with a touch of citrus. Don’t know the age but… it is pretty malty. Meh. Not a lot of character.

Can from Eddy's Beverage Inc., Saratoga Springs. Cloudy dark yellow-light brown with nice sparkle, thin head with excellent retention, light soapy lacing. Aroma is apricot, citrus, pine, biscuit. Taste is stronger version of aroma with substantial caramel malt and hint of winter spices/cinnamon. Smooth texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Hops deliver on description but likely a little old as malt contribution a bit high in the mix. Wintry spices a bit unexpected.

Can from Oliver's Beverage, Albany. Lightly hazy pale yellow, some large floaties, excellent sparkle, thin head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is dark fruit/berry (almost bourbon), caramel malt, slight wert. Taste is strong caramel/wert, pine, pineapple rind. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Weird in a number of ways. Not typical haze. Then, the can says "Best enjoyed fresh while dreaming of distant shores" but this can't possibly be fresh--too malty, werty. Wish I had this fresh.

Chestnut colour and tiny white head. Honeyish, a bit spicey aroma with vanilla. Medium-bodied. Honey, spices, alcohol, vanilla in the flavour. A bit woody.
