I don't know about "balls" at 5.2% but this beer has definitely got something. ...a douchey name for such an "amazing" beer. I've had it before and will have it again. This time it was a growler I took to go. After a 3 hr. ride home and a quick chill, it tasted great. Obviously, it didn't taste as crispy fresh as at the brewery the night before, but I did take a 1 hr. detour to pick some up . Clearly, it holds a special place in my heart. Medium/light straw hue. Foamy, finger head with strong lacing. Nice hoppy nose, and flavor to follow. Balanced taste, delicate citrus and just slight bitter end for a perfect finish. I love the new wave of full flavor light beers now. This is similar to Carton Boat Beer, but with a little more abv. yet superb balance. This is an awesome beer. If you're into the strong stuff this might not blow you away, but otherwise it's a must have.

-hazy, pale yellow can pour with a 1.5 cm foam cap and a light citrus aroma. The flavor is full. Lemon, orange zest and berry flavors are most prominent. The finish is a bit dry and the hop bitterness is moderate. There is big flavor for a relatively lighter brew, very good.

Poured from a 16oz can into a speiglau IPA glass.
Look is a pale hazy yellow with a big frothy white head.
Aroma is a dry pithy citrus lemon, maybe a hint of orange blossom honey.
Taste matches aroma, dry lemon herbal hops with just a tinge of malt sweetness.

Pours a slightly cloudy copper color with a huge white head that was well retained and left blotches of lacing. Smells like tropical fruit juice with some sweet malts. Tastes like tropical fruits with passion fruit and mango at the forefront, sweet malts and a hint of pepper. Very little bitterness on the finish. Light bodied, well carbonated, clean, crisp and very refreshing. Terrific beer.
