473ml can. Pours a clear gold with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Aroma of bready pale malt and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt and lemon in a dry, bitter grass finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Just ok.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a small, fizzy, short lived, white head that fully dissipates. Tart aroma of grainy wheat, lime and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy wheat, lime, salt and floral hops in a crisp, dry, acidic, sour lacto finish. Light body with a slick texture and lively carbonation. Not getting any smoky malt, but it's refreshing and crushable.

At the January 2026 DC Brewver gathering. 16oz can. Poured a clear golden color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was big corn, creamy vanilla and some light lemon. Flavor was floral notes, with a touch of grass and some buttery notes. Okay stuff.

473ml can. Pouts a hazy copper with a medium, foamy, long lasting, beige head that leaves thick, sticky curtains of soapy lace. Aroma of bready caramel malt, spruce needles and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, grapefruit, pine resin, earth and herbal hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average to soft carbonation. Tasty and enjoyable.

475ml can, many thanks to pictoman and BeerPlace. Shared with Finn. Unclear dark orange-brown body, big off-white head, rich lacing. Brown malty aromas, earthy, promising. Similar taste of nuts, earth, and caramel malts. Soft malty ending, mid-sweet. Medium bodied. Quite alright. (Tromsø, 07.06.2025).
