(Can) Pours hazy yellow gold with tiny white head. Good aroma with lemon and lime and notes of candy and lactic hints. Medium body with bright carbonation. Taste has lemon and lime with peppery spice. The citrus diminishes and the pepper grows through the palate. The finish is a gentle peppery bitterness. Some hints of lactic sweetness around the middle palate. It’s very drinkable if a little one dimensional.

(Can) Pours clear pale gold with big white head. Citrus and pine aroma. Medium body, well carbonated. Taste is dominated by hoppy bitterness. There’s some citrus and a hint of sweetness at the start, and then a quick growth of bitterness that extends into a long finish. A bit over the top for my palate.

(Can) Pours clear pale straw yellow with tiny white head. Nice pine aroma suggests hoppy bitterness. Medium body with good carbonation giving a very satisfying mouthfeel. Great taste too. Gentle clean start with notes of citrus and pale malt quickly develops more character, mainly resinous hops coming to the fore and continuing on into a nice bitter finish. Excellent beer.
