3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Uploading old ratings that were missing comments. I'm pretty sure this batch of cans was improperly stores because the hop profile was a little dead and the whole thing was a bit off. Will re-rate this one when I can.

Pours an opaque orange/amber with a medium lt tan head. Aroma is very floral...some spicy hops and loads of peach and mango...hint of sweet caramel. Flavor has earthy tea notes and pale malts atop mild hoppy spice and stonefruits...earthy bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium/full and the finish is dry and bitter with mild orange tea.

500mL can, sent from khoffman43 (thanks Kyle), pours a clear dull copper with a medium foamy white head. Aroma of English biscuity malts, lots of floral soapy hops, and some toasted bread crusts. Flavour is quite restrained, with English biscuity malts, some dry floral hops and again the toasted bread crusts - nice and dry, with high sugar attenuation. Easy drinking session ale that doesn’t invigorate the palate, but succeeds in being refreshing. Solid.

Pours amber with a white head and aroma of hops and grapefruit. Taste is of caramel, malt, hops, and pine with a subtle, slight bitter finish. Taste is very light, easy to drink, and a solid brew.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Can. Slightly hazy orange pour. Quite citrusy with peaches, oranges and some other stuff tossed in. Hops are not super noticeable but add a little something. Not a bad beer but a style I don’t care for.

Thanks to Steasy66 for the trade.
The pour is slightly hazy, medium gold color with a minimal off-white head.
The aroma is negligible. Soft malts very little hops.
The flavor is lightly bitter, some dryness that follows along to the finish.
Medium bodied, well carbonated. Just not my style.
