Canned 5/27/22. Drank 6/29/22
Pour is a murky golden yellow. nice cap of chalk white head with good retention and decent lacing.
nose is resinous hops, some pine, berries, melon
Taste follows. melon, resinous hops, hint of pineapple, berries, lime. a tad sweeter than i'd prefer, but still with a decent bitterness.

Fantastic beer! If green had a taste ...... this would be it..... amazing finish and the body is thick like most of their dubs. If you like neipa this is seriously a winner.

Candy Green has a medium, off-white head, and a milky-yellow, opaque appearance, with sheet lacing. The aroma is of citrus and white bread. The flavor is the same, with mild bitterness. Candy Green has a low-medium body, and a watery mouthfeel. The drinker will notice a dry finish.

Poured from 16oz can into my BeerAdvocate teku. Canned 9/14/21.
Appearance: extremely freakin' hazy, medium straw hue, with two fingers of frothy ivory foam. Lookin' good!
Smell: dank, earthy, grassy, and sweet. It's a big, bold hit, although earthy is not usually what I'm going for in a big hazy.
Taste: sweetly malty with a fruity hop undertone and a more earthy note on top. Bitterness is a bit raspy, of the citrus-rind variety, but isn't overpowering. This is definitely a beer that is bringing flavor density to the table, but it's perhaps not the flavor I'm looking for. It's good, but not great.
Mouthfeel: body is on the light side but there's a decent carbonation and I'm guessing a lactose element that adds a smoothness. Not too bad.
Overall: this is a sweet hop-bomb, as anticipated, but it isn't necessarily my favorite flavor profile. Still, it seems like a well-made beer.

Can from Canton St Sept 2021
Over ripe citrus, slight funk- dankness, not bad but certainly not worth seeking out
