Pours a semi-cloudy, dark golden in color. Thick, white, frothy head. Nose is mandarin oranges and tangerines and somewhat floral. Taste is a hodgepodge of mango and tangerines. Very mild bitterness, unfortunately.

Canned on 5/13/25, thanks for sharing warnerry!
Hot damn this is a beaut! And smells freaking amazing. No heat in the flavor or mouthfeel. Practically perfect in every way. Hop character in flavor has a tad bit of starchy green banana, only negative, but that’s a serious reach after some searching.

Poured from a pint can, the body is an apricot color with nice foamy head. Excellent lacing.
Nose is a delicious peach, mango and earthy hop.
Taste mostly follows nose and adds a pleasant dankness (simcoe?) with just a touch of bitterness on the back end. Satisfying movement from fruit to dank to fading bitter to soft finish.
Mouthfeel is very good and carbonation solid. Very soft.
