355ml can - I think, since they still aren't including that detail on their labels, which is against the law, or something, isn't it?

This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat chunky bone-white head, which leaves some decent splotchy and sudsy lace around the glass as it slowly and evenly subsides.

It smells of bready and grainy cereal malt, muted domestic citrus rind, a bit of nutty yeastiness (?), and some zippy earthy, piney, and musky floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, ethereal dried orange peel, a pithy nuttiness, mild flinty notes, and more leafy, weedy, and piney hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in is palate-satiating frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a bit of weird floral hop acridity making a minor fuss here. It finishes trending dry, the piney and estery hop bitterness holding tight on the lingering reins.

Overall - this isn't a bad version of the style, per se, but there's a strange otherness that I'm having difficulty pinning down. It's almost yeasty, but not quite, almost musty, but no, so I'm at a loss, because it's tempering my enjoyment of this one just a little too much.
