Can. Gold, white head. Floaty citrus aroma with lemon blossoms, grapefruit, crackers. Quite hoppy but not so much that the lager palate disappears - it's clean with light bready notes. Lots of citrus, some floral notes, fairly bitter. Not much character but snappy enough.

Aromas of coffee, chocolate and toast. The toast is very strong in the mouth, with some citrus notes and coffee dominating the chocolate. It has a smooth mouthfeel, with only that toasty, coffee aftertaste perhaps slightly stronger than I'd like but it's a small criticism.

Nobody ever said Franga was Uptown, but it _is_ white bread. Can. Just misted pale gold with a modest but lasting white head. Refined grapefruit, pomelo, crackers and light tropical aroma. Surprisingly creamy texture with gently rich light bready malt, as much mandarin as sharper citrus. fleshy tropical fruit. A little less bitterness than I really wanted but nicely peppery there too.

Can. Cloudy pale orange with a good inch of white head. Aroma of grapefruit and Meyer lemon peel, crackery bread, hints of tropical fruit, white grapes and herbs. Very Citra. Light bodied. Tropical fruit chews, citrus. Feels increasingly resinous toward the fairly bitter end. Good, perhaps a little impersonal.
