Pours a golden-copper with a near-clear transparency, just obscured by a light haze. Head is two fingers of white foam. Aroma is herbal, resin, and tropical fruits with some lactose sweetness at the onset. As the initial hops fade - which hit in quick succession and fade rapidly - in comes light bready malts and fruity yeast. Flavor profile is resin, herbal, and tropical fruits, hanging on the middle note the most. Bready, biscuity, and doughy malts form on the backside as hops hit 'pause'. Spicy yeast and bubblegum notes grace the final third of the flavor profile. All in total, it's sugary sweet at the start, but stalls out mid-way for a more clean finish. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with an initially softly crisp start that bubbles down to a near still finish. Overall, a near crispy hoppy boi. It's solid hops up front, but that bubblegum character drags it down a little.

Served in a 15.5oz Spiegelau tulip from a 16oz can. Reviewed from notes.
