32 oz can. Pours a cloudy orange with huge fluffy off white head. Aroma is citrus, mild floral hops. Taste is mild citrus, sweet caramel malts and a touch of honey. Finish is somewhat bitter , but mainly sweet. It’s ok at 3 for 32 oz can its worth a try.

Pours a hazy orange with a thin off-white head. Aroma is mostly hops with some breadiness. Flavor very much of the same with ligt hints of pine, citrus, spices and sweetness. Very basic pale ale with a thin body and heavily carbonated.

Bottle. Pours with an off-white head over a fluffy, chill hazed orange body. Aroma of tangerine and orange hops, rotting orange, cereal and caramel. Taste is grainy, astringent, and metallic. Light hops. Fizzy and dry...note enjoyable.

Poured cloudy copper. Aroma of malt, caramel and pine hops. Started off bitter and became quite bitter as it warmed. Some malt, caramel and earthy hops. A bit too bitter for me.

12 oz bottle shared by the neighbor. Sweet and citrus aromas. Flavors were macro in style. Not too much corn flavor. I guess it was better than a macro pale lager.
