Can, from Trader Joe's. Pours cloudy pale lemon yellow with large foamy off-white head, faint lemon peel aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter orange peel taste, thin watery body, longish finish. Not too bad.

Crystal clear coloured body with a large three centimetre tall just off-white head that stays afloat for a long time. Aroma of very subdued grass and hay notes with a dry apple and light grainy note with a dash of alcohol and caster sugar. Light-bodied; Deep robust biscuity malts up front with a soft peach and apple flavour, some grain and a dash of more herbal notes, but still no real hops noticeable, but some light alcohol and herbal finishes remain. Aftertaste is surprisingly easy-drinking with just a biscuity and light grainy note showing some softer herbal and yeast flavours with a little sweetness from caster sugar and apples with a touch of the alcohol showing through on the end, but not in a bad way. Overall, fairly nice to try - not as bad as I was expecting, but I've never heard of this and it's retro-value seemed great, especially from Upstate New York. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 06-September-2019 for US$1,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 29-September-2019, a few blocks away.
