12 oz. can purchased in Austin, TX. Pours a hazy pale gold color with a white fizzy head and decent retention. A spot of lacing. Light grain and citrus aroma. Grainy lager flavor with some hoppiness and citrus in the finish. An IPL light? Clean and crisp. Medium body. Decent crossover beer.

$2.90 can, WW. Pours slightly hazy gold with an inch of off-white/yellowish head. Aroma is light citrus, yeast. Flavor is grapefruit peel, caramel, yeast, aspirin. Dry, but aspirin-like flavor rounds this out which ruins it.

Can shared in London - many thanks to Tippy. Pours clear (!) gold with a creamy, whit head. Has some pale grains, orange peel, dried pine, flinty dryness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Drying finish, more pine needles, minerality. So so.
