Tap, Clearly
Blond colour, clear. Very weird aroma, chemical (reminds me of synthetic fabric). Dry and barely flavoured, flat vibe, intensively boring.

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. Nice biscuit malt, mild pine and citrus hops. Decent, pleasant surprise.

Can. Fruity hop nose. Modest bitterness. Thin, slightly biscuity malts. Fruity hops, seem generic but could use more malt sugar to prop them up. Not bad though. Could certainly substitute for an IPA.
A can delivered my way by fate. Pours appropriately cloudy blonde, with thick head that sticks around. Taste is... muted. I was expecting alot more of a hop hit. I get some resin, a little soap, over a bready, fairly dence malt, with a little lingering tangerine and a touch of bitterness on the finish. That is all well and good, but it's just underwhelming.

473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow orange with a small, foamy, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Mild, sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, mango, orange and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, mango, orange, salt and floral hops in a slightly tart lacto finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Juicy, refreshing and crushable. Would make a great patio beer for summer.
