A: slightly text page amber. Like very light cookies honey. A large white head in top.
S: lightly herbal with a hint if sea, and a slight tartness.
T: tasty up front with a brine flavor, followed by a light fruitiness.
M: light and crisp with moderate carbonation, and a tart zing in the finish.
O: overall think is a pretty delightful beer, and an interesting melding of flavors. Bravo.

I don't see a date on the can.
Appearance: The body is gold and cloudy. It has a short fizzy white head that loses bubbles about as fast as it gains them. Poor retention. No lacing.
Aroma: There is a pleasant aroma of berries that smells as if it is souring slightly. With this, there is also a faint scent of wheat.
Taste: A cream of wheat flavor comes through at first. This is followed by a tangy lime flavor. There is a salty aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: The body is light and textured with a smooth and pleasant character. Carbonation feels a bit low.
Overall: It is a good beer with a wonderful flavor and aroma. It feels light on carbonation and it can't maintain a head but that doesn't hamper the drinking experience too much. I enjoyed it and I would drink it again. It's worth picking up.

Lovely balance of salt and tartness....hints of brine...and bright lemon. Lesson in nuance that makes this incredibly drinkable and delightful.

Poured from a 16oz can into a Teku glass.
Look is a slightly hazy yellow with a thin frothy head.
Aroma is strong lime with a hint of dry salt.
Taste is a malty lime, almost a little margarity.
Not too strong on the sourness a nice blend.
