Can. CW online. Hazed pale yellow gold. Decent thin white swede. Nose has super sweet orange and lemon pulp. Vanilla malt. Dank yeasty vibe. Taste is sticky sweet with a light lemon peel bitterness. Hides the ABV well. Fine carbonation. Some welcome bitterness to finish. Smells and looks great but it’s too sweet overall, for me.
