A 16 ounce draft pour into Willi Becher glass at a public house.
Look- Pale gold, moderately hazy, white frothy head, slightly above average head retention, above average lacing.
Smell- Clementine, pith, lemon, herbaceous, between weak and medium strength of scent.
Taste- Clementine, pith, pineapple, lemon, peach, medium strength of flavor.
Feel- Medium body, average carbonation, highly creamy, mildly astringent, moderately bitter, moderately prickly, moderately mouth warming, mildly dry finish.
Overall- Pale gold with moderate haze and slightly above average head retention. The nose was a pleasant mix of clementine, pith, lemon and herbal character. The flavor followed the bouquet with more fruitiness added by notes of peach and pineapple. The beer had a medium body with a moderate amount of fresh hop character. Overall it was a solid beer, but the aromatics and flavor would have benefited from higher intensity.

16oz can served in a curvy Monhegan pint glass. Dated 09/25/2025.
Pours moderately hazy with an initially large, and eventually dense and modest head. Plenty of carbonation. Color is a little bit washed out from the label yellow, but actually not far off. Smell is tangerine rind and citrus zest, slight medicinality, strong lemon blossom. Definitely leans strongly toward citrus for me.
Taste is similar, more on the pithy side, quite dry despite all the fruity notes in the aroma. I can kind of see why the description includes stone fruit, but to me that's definitely a side show.
Mouthfeel is very light and dry, resin makes a bit of a textural appearance. Pretty solid beer.
