The aromas are mild, slightly skunky yet fresh hops and some pale malt. Flavors are like nose, mildly sweet upfront, with growing bitterness and good carbonation. Full body and bitter finish. Nice beer.

Can from Geers. Hazy golden, stable, frothy, white head. Aroma of dank pineapple, pomelo, grapefruit peel, lime, mandarin, spring onion. Taste has sweetish pineapple & mandarin, bitter core of grapefruit peel, mango & some pine, bit dank & spicy. Zesty & earthy hoppy finish, resinous almost, lots of citrus rinds & pine, very bitter but nicely so. Hint of warming alcohol kicks in very late. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. On point!
