Pours pale golden, mostly opaque, sticky head. No nose at all, tastes slightly of lemon with a decent hops presence. Not bad, just a little light/off. Worth a try, but no buy.

Very pretty pour. Cloudy but bright look with solid head
Not much aroma from a long sniff. Hints of pineapple.
The loral hops are a little tart on the tongue with a slight hoppy aftertaste.
Awesome labelling.

Look: Wonderful translucent, and hazy dark straw-pale gold appearance that stops short of full on murk. A fluffy, tightly packed, bone white head. Ribbons of lace coat the glass as I drink the beer. No visible carbonation.
Smell: The hops are really popping here. Sweet lemon and lime, citrus, pineapple, pineapple rind, grassy, lychee, and a little sweet, herbal rosemary. Very clean.
Taste: The pineapple note comes through on the flavor. Sweet, tropical pineapple juice, and the sweet piney flavor too. Grassy, lychee and herbal, slightly bitter rosemary, again.
Feel: Nice medium level of carbonation, light bodied, semi-dry. Smooth.
Overall: A very good first impression from Four City. It’s good haze that strikes a balance between sweet and dry. It showcases a memorable hop combination and does justice to both, bringing me back for more. Unique flavor profile. Solid A.
P.S. - It goes without saying that the name of this beer and label art are stellar. I am listening to the album while I drink this beer and write he review. I don’t know the last time I listened to it, but glad I am right now.

16oz can into a pint glass. NO freshness dating. Tavour shipment.
Looks decent enough. Standard murky orange juice colored body. Good bright white head shrinks to a ring and covering and manages to leave excellent lacing.
Not much in the nose.
I will say that loral hop is not my favorite variety. Veggie & herbal. The citra addition does help, but not enough for this particular palate.
Mouth closer to full than medium, finish slightly dry with the herbal edging out the fruit.
Overall, given my hop bias, this is not an unpleasant or poorly made beer, just not for me.
