Can from A.J.s. Nose is lemon, grass, berry, orange, grapefruit, crackers. Hazy bright golden color with a low, thick head. Light herbal flavor, citrus, grass, crackers, light berry and vegetable. Crisp and light and improved as it opened up.

Can from Milk and Hops, as Calyptra Session IPL. Sort of a hazy yellowish-gold pour with a nice, fizzy, egg shell head and some solid lacing. Melon and citrus, some yeast, dough, and a bit of spice. Finishes somewhat dry. Malt backbone holds up pretty well to the hops. Fizzy feel, with a long, clean, tingly finish. Not a world class beer, but way above serviceable.
