Can (5/20/25) from trade with CLW---thanks, Chris! Cloudy light brown-dark yellow, nice sparkle and head with decent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, white grape and hint of herb. Taste is grape, non-specific fruit (pear?), orange over biscuit base. Frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste with lingering dry bitterness. Decent complexity and nice balance.

Can from trade with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Date on bottom of can is off center so unreadable--I guess I should have read the review to see how old this is! Is ADDITIONAL age likely to have helped it? We shall see...
Cloudy, light brown-dark yellow, a few dark floaties, light sparkle, ample head with excellent retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong citrus and grapefruit with light mango and apricot. Taste is strong citrus and pine, honey malts. Soft carbonation, mostly piney, lightly bitter finish. No sign of alcohol. Compatible with the rest of the NEBCO stable. OK.

Can (02663 22163--who knows what these numbers mean?) from One Stop Market. Murky dark brown, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is rich, roasted caramel and earthy malt. Taste mirrors aroma. Smooth, frothy texture but thin body and a bit watery/flat carbonation with earthy, roasted malt finish. Aroma and flavor are pretty strong, though not complex. Low ABV shows itself in pretty weak palate.
