Can poured into an Alvarado Street Brewery Willi Beecher pint glass

A: Pours golden yellow with a frothy off white head that settles to a firm layer and laces nicely.

S: Spicy herbal pine, citrus, subtle tropical and stone fruit, biscuity slightly bready malt, and a touch of caramel sweetness.

T: Herbal, spicy pine, citrus, lemon, grapefruit, and tangerine, underlying tropical and stone fruit, apricot, passion fruit, peach, mango, melon, and a hint of guava, floral,

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation. biscuity slightly bready malt, and a touch of caramel sweetness.

O: Solid 6% poolside crusher, but more herbal and "green" than I was expecting. I wish the citrus was a bit brighter and lead the way instead.
