Pours a hazy, orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and dank, citrus, tropical and berry hops, with notes of grapefruit, mango, white grape and weed. Taste is a great balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, dank and slightly spicy hops, with citrus, tropical and berry notes of grapefruit, mango and white grape, as well as some white pepper and grassy weed. Finishes with a light bitterness and some grapefruit, mango and weed lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

Just like I would expect from a can referencing the Big Lebowski, this is quite dank and I'm amazed that they achieved this with just Citra and Nelson. Although Citra can be kinda dank, it's not really a quality that I get from Nelson much. While I think that the hops could be a bit more well-defined here, they feel nice and juicy enough, with a good balance of citrus, tropical and lighter berry notes. It feels just a tad hop-burney and boozy in 6the finish for the ABV, but really not too bad, with a good mouthfeel.
