At City Hops killing time. In town for work & now stuck with a canceled flight. Drink?

Good looking fizzy pint glass. I got shorted my pint pour by a good inch but didn't stink about it.
Sweet & subtle floral lavender on the nose; just enough.
Citrusy honey but zero body added, some texture. Bright acid, added malic, zippy no contrasting bite. Still okay.
Thin, low abv, easy drinker.

Good.

16 oz. can. Lightly hazy golden appearance. Aroma of floral hops, honey, milled grain. Flavor of sweet bready malt, honey, and a soft lager yeast. Maybe apple hints. Mineral? Very clean finish and proper for the style.

Can pour from Eddy's Beverage Inc., Saratoga Springs. Lightly hazy gold with trace sparkle, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is cracker malt, essence of green apple, milder pine and grass (as advertised). Taste mirrors aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, crisp, dry malty finish. True to style but with some intriguing nuances.

Can at Evil Twin Dumbo. Served in a frosty mug! Clear, straw, lingering froth. Weak farmyard, murky apple nose. Borderline sour, floral twang, white bread sweetness(?); Twangy tart, bitter-sharp. Lingering soap & tough acid. Bright & cleansing. Appreciate the insensitivity, but the flavor wasn't great.
