16oz can. Bottom stamp is 'BB-SN-001'.
Clear, pale amber colored body. Short lasting white head, and the result is islands and a ring. Minor lacing webs left behind.
Aroma is non-expressive with whiffs of orange and mango.
Taste is much more expressive than the nose. Staggered flavor layers of orange, lemon, grapefruit, and mango. There is a gradual entrance of pine resin and bitterness. Candy-like fruit flavors. Aftertaste maintains a balance of sweet and bitter.
Medium mouthfeel. More mouth coating than drying, but the late bitterness stops the show. Okay carbonation.
Worthy candidate because of its clear appearance, color, and bitter exit.
