16 oz can. Aroma has a mix of honey malt with very soft floral bouquet. Flavors of mineral water, honey, and some spicy hops. A lighter body. Yet, malt base is pretty good. Texture is crisp and has a soft spicy bitterness for balance. Well made for the style.

Tap @ Prime 16, New Haven. Nice head with good duration. Color is hazy red/amber. Aroma and taste are rich blackberries, citrus, lactose acid and malt. Nice smoothie sour finish.

Can pour shared by Steve! It's a lightly hazy rose-dark amber with ring of beige head and trace lacing. Aroma is strong earthy toasted malt, toffee, vague nuts. Taste is strong toasted malt (a little toward burnt side?), no real toffee or nuts. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, really like the aroma but something falls short for me in the flavor.

Crisp golden coloured body with a slight ghostly haze with a thinnish, relatively fast-dying off-white head that only shows a centimetre or so in height before fading. Aroma of very strong toasted marshmallow and sugars with a dash of wheat and oats and a lot of raspberries here, that are on the light and tart side, but definitely noticeable in a nice way, that doesn't overpower at all. Light-bodied; Very crisp and easy-drinking wheatie malts show at first and provide enough of a backbone to the tart and soured raspberry notes, but balanced effectively by the soft sugars from the marshmallows, but the toast notes show strongest, in a nice way. Aftertaste is pretty clean drinking with very mild malts and a lot of the soured, tart raspberries and even more of the toasted marshmallows, all going down very easily. Overall, a very nice and robust, elegant, clean and easy-drinking beer with a nice set of flavours and even better complexity, especially at the end. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Glen Ro in Monroe, Connecticut on 25-November-2022 for US$4,49 sampled on the streets of New York, New York with my wife and kids here on 15-January-2023.

Pours amber with lots of dark suspended sediment and a uniformly fluffy white head. Aroma of orange, lemon, pomelo. Taste has soft hop notes, tons of citrus, some soft melon notes that indicate oats in the grain bill. Palate has more citrus, hearty resin that lingers on the nose, some autumn olive kick. Quite good. 1600!
