Pours a light gold with a good head. Solid aromas of citrus, leaning towards lemon, with a little grassy hoppiness thrown in. Taste follows, though surprisingly dry for such a fruity aroma. Medium mouthfeel.

Big three finger head, slightly off white, retention is very good, lacing moderate at best. The liquid is thick yet more translucent than outright opaque, palish yellow. Peppery nose with plenty of white grapefruit, an unobtrusive if steady dankness, tropical fruit which doesn't evoke saccharine sweetness, good staying power. Medium-bodied, texturally each sip is a little different, sometimes it feels fluffy soft, others more bite and drying. The carbonation is decent enough, felt more upfront. Thankfully the nose led one correctly and the fruit is flavorful without too much sweetness. A little more dankness, a little less pepper. Almost spicy though. Well malted. What I enjoy most is the integration and that it's not creaming at you. (No can dating, purchased at the brewery)
