On tap at Turtle Swamp Brewing in Boston, MA.

This one pours a light orange-ish color, with some darker tints, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like biscuity malt, and not a whole lot else.

This isn’t by horrible by any means, but it feels awfully light, even for a more delicate style. It’s biscuity and decently malty, but there’s no real hop character or any real depth to this.

This is light bodied, clean, crisp, and very drinkable.

This was probably the best Turtle Swamp beer I had on a recent visit, but compared to the other beers I had, it’s not saying much at all.

Can 2021/09/09 at 3 restaurant in Franklin
Pours a med foamy 1/2 finger head with med retention, little lacing, semi clear light haze orange amber color

Nose doughy malt, little cereal, sweet butter scotch caramel like, buttery cracker, light herbal fruity hop, strange fruity character with tangy notes

Taste more fruit, tangy infection like fruity flavor as well as butter diacetyl, light grainy cereal malt and buttery cracker, mild herbal spicy hop, sticky slick buttery finish

Mouth is med bod, med higher carb, slick diacetyl

Overall most of the beers I judged in the home brew competition last night were much better than this, and canned, they should be ashamed to sell crap like this to anyone, let alone to restaurants
