Tap @ Kick. Unclear pale golden body with a nice, dense off-white head. Very refreshing in aroma, fruity and berry/grapes, it has some elements of white wine in the nose. Flavor is medium sweet pale malt, fruit, berries, ripe fruit, yeast and moderate bitterness. Medium body and average aftertaste. Refreshing fruity, smoot and Belgium yeast, some kind of crossover beer, pleasant.

Can on the way to JFK. Pours clear amber-gold with a frothy, mostly white head. The aroma holds old pine, light caramel and toasted biscuits. Medium sweet flavour with lots of biscuity malts, grains, pine, orange rind. Moderately bitter. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. More toasted grains in the finish, old pine, earth, caramel. Perhaps a bit faded. So so overall.
