16 ounce can - packaging date difficult to decipher but ?? is that a "22".
Pours a less than clear bright golden - until the end of the pour hits with floating proteinaceous debris.
I do quite like the aroma - hop forward - citrus, berries, a bit of papaya and a whiff of herbal oniony scent.
Tastes of cereal malt with citrus, mixed berry sweetness, tropical fruit and again a little bit of a soft herbal bitterness - nothing offensive but nothing really pops.
Medium mouthfeel with muted carbonation and a soft bittersweet fruity-floral finish.
I suspect this is a good beer but brought in to Canada at an age it should not have.
