Thanks Ryan! Pours a hazy copper orange with a loose head. Nose is surprisingly big piney hops, caramel malt. Mouth is quite dry with a pretty long finish of pine, citrus rind, some caramel malt. Very dry and short, which is nice. Flavor hold true to the style while the nose is a bit brash, "arrogant" as some could say. Carbonation is high. A very dry mineral, wet pavement kind of flavor starts to creep ion, which doesn't really mesh.

Truth be told this isn't a favorite style of mine and while the nose isn't true to the style it's more enticing to me than the dry, bitter mouth.

16oz energy drink looking can, 6 days old (humble brag)

Semi-hazy yellow pumpkin color, sudsy esb head. Smell is lemon, pine, sweet fruits. Feel is light-medium, crisp yet buttery. Taste is bitter(obviously) pine, lemon rind, pie crust, bready grain finish.

The best tasting 4% beer you'll ever drink.
