Canned 11/29/17
Appearance - Pours clear and golden in color with a white, near finger width head. Fair retention, resulting in a thin, broken layer of suds. The lacing is light, with a few small spots and broken lines.
Smell - Honey sweetness with lesser bread and faint citrus notes.
Taste - Follows the nose. Honey sweetness upfront and throughout with a hint of bread and faint wet cardboard. Light citrusy zing rides beneath before dying off in the finish. Bittersweet aftertaste, with a bit of grapefruit skin bitterness and continuing light cardboard staleness.
Mouthfeel - Light-to-medium in body with fair carbonation. Drinks easy enough but falls a bit flat in the finish.
Overall - This was just delivered to my local bottle shop, so I assumed it fresh. At nearly 4 months old it's definitely lost some freshness. Let this be a reminder to always check for dates, even if it's a brand spanking new delivery. What's here is okay. I honestly don't know if it'd be that much better with only a month of age on it, truth be told.

Pours a finger of head on a clear light straw body.
The aroma is danky grapefruit.
The taste is clean malt honey sweetness and mild pine bitterness that picks up in the end.
The texture is crisp.
It has a latent bitterness that is nice.
