Can pour. Appearance is opaque dark yellow with tons of sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width white foamy head with good retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong tangerine, lemon citrus bordering on astringent cleanser. Taste is less distinct tangerine and citrus (kind of run together) and late cracker. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin, watery, then frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation with finish as taste with late dry bitterness. Overall, a pretty decent pale ale but the flavor doesn't deliver on the aroma, finish is too dry for the early juice and too carbonated.

Can pour from Worldwide Wine & Spirits, Southington. Appearance is milky/murky dark chiffon yellow (direct light), or dark yellow-light brown (backlit), with no sparkle, sludgy grayish yeast at the bottom of the glass, thin cap of white foamy head with poor retention and mild soapy lacing. Aroma moderately strong herbal over citrus. Taste follows aroma. Improves as it warms. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick, frothy texture, lively carbonation (that dominates the experience) and finish as taste. Overall, not much in the way of complexity. Look and feel are nice but way too carbonated!

Can pour from Worldwide Wine & Spirits. Appearance is hazy pale yellow (urine-like) with mild sparkle, fizzy finger-width white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is rich wheat cracker malts (vaguely smoky) with lighter banana. Taste is strong sweet banana over milder wheat cracker backbone. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average-to-lively carbonation and crisp mild banana and wheat finish. Overall, has the requisite characteristics in fairly strong amounts. Not terribly complex but good. A little overcarbonated.
