On tap at brewery (revisit can bought that day):
Lightly bruised banana to beige, uniform enough to avoid a sludge-like look. Lacing strong enough to mark it up a notch. Can version has a similarly blah body with nice head/lacing.

Green herbal notes in both nose and taste. Initially the beer had a sweetness that balanced the hop bitterness, maybe slightly over-balanced. Warmth brought out more classic hop scents, and a little more back end hop flavors. Definitely improved as it warmed.
Initial can sips had an Orange Julius aspect, with some burn (which was light and faded from there). Scents also had a citrus zest aspect to them I didn't seem to get at the brewery (plastic cup might not have helped). Herbal scents are there as well, and they still transition to the back-end taste. There is a oat-like sweetness in both that lasts a bit longer in the can version

Soft, somewhat creamy mouthfeel with just a bit of resin after the beer warms. Herbal and light green pine needle during the sip, a balance of light honey and pine resin lingers.

I’d suggest giving this one a full pour or at least letting it warm a tad before digging in. In the can, this stayed sweeter than it seemed to at the brewery. It still has an herbal bitterness in back, but it's countered by a sweeter overall impression.
