From can to pint glass. Pours clear gold with a small white head that fades to a collar of dense bubbles and a slight coating over the top. Aroma of lemongrass, lychee, and faint cracker. Flavor is lemon, and I get a bit of an off flavor - maybe acetaldehyde or a bit grassy. Thinnish mouthfeel.

Can. Pours clear golden, medium white head, decent lacing. Aroma is hugely buttered popcorn, some grapefruit, caramel candy, butter. Flavor is light sweet, light plus bitter. Medium body. So I generally don't have a particularly sensitive palate for diacetyl, but this one is overwhelming. Its kind of shocking to me that this could have possibly passed any form of quality control prior to release. Holy hell. I love trying new breweries, and I have heard god things about these guys, but I am not putting any more money here until I hear that they have worked through the bugs.
