16 oz can from Five Shores. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Light lemony, grassy, wheat/pale malt aroma. Wheat flavor, touching on the lemon and grassiness. Okay, but not terribly exciting.

Growler from the brewery. Pours a fully hazy pale yellow with a white head. Bright, juicy, lightly sweet citrus hops (grapefruit, orange), moving into some pine and tropical fruit. A little bitter touch at the end to round it out. Great!
