From a 16oz can purchased at the brewery; undated but presumed to be relatively fresh. Pours a straw-gold with solid haze. Not much fruit on the nose or palate. Bitter finish. Would not buy again.

On tap at Spotted Octopus Brewing in Rochester, NY.
This one pours a very hazy golden orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells quite juicy, orange, mango, all that.
This is solid, very juicy, with some bitterness, but the bitterness is kind of unpleasant, more like chive-y and spicy than clean and piney.
It’s got a little bit of hop burn and it’s less drinkable for that reason.
This is definitely a bit sloppy and I didn’t really love it.
