A: Bubbly pale yellow with a short thick head. Pretty good retention.
S: Grassy herbs and sweet fresh bread.
T: Follows the nose closely with the sweetness a bit more pronounced but a surprising amount of herbal hop bitterness.

2 month old pint can
A: Thick pillow of foam over a lightly hazed pale gold body. Great retention and sheet lace.
S: Muted tart tropical fruit aroma features peach and pineapple. IOW what's there smells hazy.
T: Lightly bitter with subtle flavors that follow the nose plus a bit of citrus. Malts are crisp and toasty.
M: Snappy coating carbonation, light body and clean tart finish.
O: Nice and refreshing but nothing really stands out to make it a repeat purchase.

2 week old pint can
A: Clearish pale yellow with a short frothy white head. Decent retention and persistent lace.
S: Lemon lime citrus and herbs over cereal grains.
T: Tangy citrus notes with basil fairly well pronounced but not overdone. Cucumber comes as an afterthought but pleasant. Subtle rice malt flavor compliments nicely.
M: Light and crisp with average carbonation and puckering finish.
O: Pleasant surprise. Tasty and refreshing with no off putting flavors.
