16oz can pours a translucent orange with plenty of creamy, white head. Nose has a ton of esters off the top, a little weird, grist, cherry pits, grasses, flowers, apricot, perfume. Flavor is gristy, some stone fruit heavy flowers and herbs. The wheat is there, there's a lurking Hef character which throws me off some (clove, banana, chewed bubblegum all in minor doses). Finishes with a big feeling. I suppose it's 7% but if FEELS like 7%.

16oz can pours a hazy gold, wispy white head.  Nose is straight pineapple upside down cake, some citrus, some vanilla.  There is a clear starchiness in the nose.  The flavor has the pineapple, some starchiness, a weird buckwheat thing, more raw orange than anything, a little sweat and acid.  Finishes medium bodied.
