From a 16oz can with no date on it.
This is a very clear looking beer.. The color is a nice golden color with a steady stream of carbonation bubbles rising in the glass. There's a 2 finger slightly off white colored head. The head retention is decent and there's a bit of lacing left on the glass.
The aroma is dominated by the hops. I do get pine notes from the hops.
The flavor is, light. I am getting some hop flavor. There's a touch of pine flavor from the hops. There's a bit of bitterness on the backside. Some malty bread notes also show up in the beer.
The body is very clean feeling with a nice crispness. Decent body and fullness. Some clingy feeling.
The beer does taste good, but the flavor is a touch light overall.

16 oz cans canned 12/2/25 into a barrel glass and a Willie.
L: Pours a clear copper color with a 1/4" soapy white head, light carbo, head recedes to edge froth, loose random light lacing.
S: Caramelized malts, a hint of fruits.
T: Lightly sweet caramel malts, pine resin, toasty light grains, a hint of white grape, a distant bread crust note, light yeast, an equal balance of sweet malts and bitterness. It has a long bitter linger.
F: Fairly smooth medium-light bodied mouthfeel with a medium-long lightly drying finish.
O: A really easy drinker and has very nice tastes. It has good bitterness aligning with a gently toasty malt profile. The brewers did a real nice job with this simple offering. It is very good to excellent in its style.
