12 ounce can, part of the Hi-Wire Variety 12-Pack - $17.99 at Bullock's Wine & Spirits in Marietta, Georgia.
PACKAGED 01/15/19.
Appearance: Pours out a hazed, soft yellow-hued body with a whitish cap of foam.
Smell: Staunch grainy quality with a little sniff of risen dough. Soft lemon, faint grapefruit, bits of resin and spice.
Taste: Crisply grainy, lightly doughy, lightly piquant with a small hint of initial sweetness. A little citrusy, faintly tangy touches of lemon, grapefruit. Slightly floral, a bit of pine and dusting of powdered anise. Its reserved bitterness is sustained through the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body, though there is a sense of fullness present. Medium carbonation.
Overall: Decently refreshing, nicely drinkable featuring some of the hip, newfangled AU/NZ hop varieties.

It’s a bright golden slightly cloudy color with medium off white head. Lemon grass, zest, very refreshing scent. The taste is equally refreshing and would be a great lawnmower beer. Actually I’m going outside to finish it cuz it’s 60 degrees and sunny today. Mouthfeel is thin and crisp. Overall this is a pretty good refreshing beer. Very refreshing. Did I mention it was refreshing?
