Pours a yellowy golden color with a nicely retentive head.

Smells very malty with some citrus undertones.

Taste is very malty right away with citrusy notes. The malt stays true the entire time throughoit the finish.

Can from John's Marketplace.

A hazy orange with a dense, white head with good retention and lacing. The nose has a nice, bright, citrusy and pine like hop character with mandarin, tangerine, a touch of dank present. There's something about the malt profile that doesn't entirely work, though. It's got a mildly dull wheat note along with a touch of stale malt. The palate opens dank with weed and skunk notes pairing with citrusy brightness. Orange, mandarin, grapefruit, all bitter flavors. The stale base malt flavors appear on the mid-palate and clash with the clean dankness. Fruity, dank finish, with raw grain and a little wort. Decent but disjointed.
