Draught. Tastes like melted plastic / Styrofoam. Not good.

An American Blonde Ale style.
Pours with an off-white foam atop a hazy golden brew. Fruity on the nose, citrusy. Tastes quite hoppy and citrusy and a hint of bread. Crisp and refreshing.

Nice white foam head a top a moderately hazy, effervescent pale peach-orange body. Scent is on the juicier side albeit not too heavy as the blonde ale base seems to rein it in. Taste has a pleasant citrus burst up front that mellows into a slightly sweet, toasty malt backbone. Feel is on the lighter side with a delightfully lingering aftertaste that mirrors the main event. A great summer offering that has just enough complexity to entice but not so much as to be overwhelming.

Appearance: Pours a soft yellow-hued body, slightly hazy with an airy, white head.
Smell: Citrusy-floral with some restrained melony notes and a backdrop of crisp wheat glazed with a cereal sweetness.
Taste: Crackery, wheaty with a little light cereal sweetness. Gently floral with a wash of melon water. Citrusy with a lemon-orange vibe, with the lemon quality taking the lead and lasting through the rather thinning, flirting with watery finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body that's a bit thinnish at times. Medium carbonation.
Overall: It's just OK. It kinda feels like an enzyme was utilized to strip the body and dry things out to help aid that crushability promised by the can. I didn't care for the thinnish of it, but I suppose you gotta do what you gotta do to put a new spin or twist on the style to move units.

Pretty good beer! A little too hoppy but still great.
