Poured from a single-serve can into a tulip.
Pours apricot-gold with just a hint of haze. Plenty of bubbles and a two-fingered foamy head with solid retention and lacing.
The aroma is solidly malty at the fore, with some breadyness, followed by orange and hints of piney hops. Actually a hint of clean booze. Rather muted overall.
The flavor follows the nose initially. Heavy on the citrus, with plenty of the promised orange--mostly zest and pith, not flesh. Hints of biscuit/bread. Unexpected bitterness from the fruit component of this one, with some metallic flavor at the finish.
The brew is medium-light to medium bodied, and a bit lacking in carbonation. Sort of watery for the style.
Overall a drinkable brew that provides the promised orange flavor, but doesn't otherwise distinguish itself.

Pours a medium golden/copper with moderate head.
Smell is pretty light orange, almost a malty sweetness.
Taste is brief malt followed by moderately bitter citrus hops. Orange not surprisingly.

12oz bottle stating enjoy by June 26,2018 from AC. Dark amber color and slightly citrusy nose. Orange along with citrus rind flavor with a touch of honey. An unspectacular yet enjoyable fruit beer.

Pulp Fusion pours a copper color, with a small but long lasting and lacing head. Nice mellow sweetness, with hints of orange. Flavor is full, nice and crisp, with good notes of orange. Good body and feel. Overall a nice full big fruit forward beer.

Initial aroma is a goofy mix of earth, weeds and funny fruit. A sweet fruit begins to show in time and eventually overpowers the earthiness.
Lighter amber with some orange and gold and slightly cloudy. Dense and lacing off-white head.
More earthiness but is has a nice body and grit (figuratively) that rounds it off nicely. Fruit is there but not dominant. Get some citrus but it blends. No astringency - or very little, moderately low bitterness and some sour that comes and goes and seems to align with the grapefruit.
Moderate body and good feel. A little high in carbonation for my tastes but well within normal range.
This is a tough beer to get in to. A lot and I emphasize, a lot, going on here, making it hard to attach to. Kind of like complex music (jam band or fusion rock), but sticking with it can be worth is, as you organize what's going on, it comes together nicely.
