16 oz can purchased at BKS Artisan Ales in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a full haze of orange yellow, opaque with a one inch foamy white head. The aroma is grapefruit and peel, hint of floral and general hazy nose. The taste is the grapefruit up front, with the fruit and peel, followed by floral perfume and stone fruit. The palate is medium bodied with soft natural carbonation and the hazy silky mouth feel, finishing with crisp soft bitterness. Tasty.

16oz can pours a clear gold with some sudsy white head. Nose has dough, honey, floral, some grass. Flavor has a little metal I associate with the style, then clear grist, grass, soap, dough. Finishes dry, clean, a bit of a bite.
