6 day old can A: Quite clear pale gold with a short long lasting head. To be fair the can says juicy but not hazy. S: Very tropical. Peach, pineapple, a little tart citrus and faint caramel. T: Balanced first sip with wood and tart fruits. Fairly bitter. More citrus than the nose but with tropical flavors mingling in. Even a hint of pine at the end. M: Light medium weight with low soft carbonation and light rough resin to finish. O: A very pleasant surprise. Nicely layered flavors, good texture and it even looks good.

Slightly hazy golden and light peach coloured body with a thinnish, barely coating the top, pure white head. Aroma of mellow malt, a splash of alcohol, some soft tart notes and perhaps the smallest dose of strawberries or just pure berries recognisable - or not. Light-bodied; Super tart flavour with not much to support it, aside from a touch of malt, a dash of hay and flowers and some light sugars with not much else going on. Aftertaste is quite easy-drinking with just a mellow sweet and tart flavour propped up on the very malt backbone and showing some of the softer sides of wheat, yeast and the tart sweet fruit. Overall, a very mellow and soft beer throughout with only a dash of soft and sweet flavours, but more of the light malt, easy-drinking profile of a cream ale. Not a horrible beer nor worth passing up, but also, not worth going out of the way to get. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Lidl in Manassas, Virginia on 13-July-2019 for US$4,99/six pack, sampled at home here in Washington on 26-September-2019.
