Pretty hazy, very light golden coloured body with a straw-like glow and a very thick, four to five centimetre tall off-white head that's microfoamed and leaves a strong lace. Aroma of resin (of course), pineapple, alcohol, light grain, a dash of pepper and quite a bit of flowers - pretty strong in the nose in a nice way. Medium-bodied; Pretty rich resinous and dry, grassy notes show at first with a lot of fresh hoppiness that isn't entirely bitter (sort of a blend of old and new school hops), but is very resinous and pretty fruity. Aftertaste is crisp, dry, showing some floral, perfume and very grassy qualities, but a nice support from malt, with a light sweetness from subdued fruits that give a good balance throughout and seemingly less (around 7,5 per cent-ish) alcohol than advertised. Overall, a nice, fragrant and fruity beer that has some hop bitterness, but more of a crisp, dryness from those same hops with a little pineapple and lot of resin. Great to try fresh and local-ish! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from ABC Fine Wine & Spirits in Orlando (Lake Buena Vista), Florida (Store #004) on 30-April-2022 for US$5,09 with a 'best by of Sep 8th 2022' on the bottom of the can and sampled at my house here in Washington on 31-May-2022.
