From a 16oz can, dated 11/25/21. Served in a spiegelau-style IPA glass.
Pours a milky-pale grapefruit juice colour with a scant two fingers of soft soapy suds. Retention is unremarkable, leaving a beaten egg white-like collar and swooshes of lacing.
Aroma is earthy-perfumy and sweet orange. Nice. I could just leave my nose in here for a while.
Taste is recognizably similar to the nose but bends off in a cloyingly sweet direction. Like orange juice that’s past its best-by date, a tad icky-sweet and maybe picking up some off tastes from other food in the fridge. Lime, perfume, moderate green leafy bitterness.
Feel is juicy, a bit sticky, medium-plus bodied with super-fine prickly carbonation. Wishing for a little more lift from the carbonation.
Overall, a bit of a mixed bag for me, mostly to the good. Tastes and feels a smidge boozier than its stated 7% abv. The hops aren’t listed on the can but I’m thinking Simcoe and I do love me some IPA hopped with Simcoe. But it is just too perfumy and cloyingly sweet to be having more than one.

Consumed: Sep-7-2019
A:
Pours a murky pale gold, a little cloudy overall--lacking uniform haze--with no head. (3.25)
S:
Muted fruitiness with some crackery, white bready malt. (3.5)
T:
Medium bitterness with an almost peanut-butter-on-wonder-bread quality to
the taste without much of an obvious hop flavor that I was able to discern. (3.25)
M:
Pretty dry feel and a bit chalky with medium carbonation. (3.5)
O:
An OK beer overall and I had no trouble drinking it, but it is not quite there either to the style's exigences or in general.
As with the other beer I had and others I saw poured, the appearance is lamentable. No head/retention/lacing/not ideal haze-wise. Neither the aroma nor the flavor were what they should have been. Crackery, faintly, only vaguely fruity, a slight bit bitter, I don't think it was "off" but I think that it could be better. As I let it come to temperature in hops that it was just served too cold, a anisey/basily aromatic character came out in the finish. On the verge of vegetal, but I am not positive that's what's going on. None of it popped and the spotlight (disclaimer: to my tongue on this particular day/time) seemed to not be on the hops, but rather the malt. Luckily I think that it will improve as they grow into their space and get a feel for things. They obviously are moving in the right direction, I'd say (3.25)
