It shines, but it doesn’t sparkle. I’m not thinking prime Cinderella here, my children. Think more so when one of her homely sisters (you know, the one with a meth addiction), borrows her glass slippers for a night on the town - i.e. spending time with unsavory dudes in alleys.
Puff, puff, give!

Packaged on 4/7/2025 - imbibed on 4/20/2025 - poured from a pint can into my Dogfish Head shaped pint glass.
Clear citrine body with a fist of ivory up top. Rocky lacing; very good retention.
Potent hop aroma, suffused with passion fruit, citrus (grapefruit, tangerine) zest, and a hint of chives/mint.
Bright palate entry is quickly subsumed by sweetness suggesting caramel, orange juice, and berry Starburst. Some biscuity/crackery malt notes but the flavor profile leans into the residual sugars and the finish never quite dries out. Moderate zesty bitterness throughout.
Medium-full bodied with hefty carbonation - almost but never quite crisp.
Wonderful appearance and aroma, but not as attentuated as I would prefer.
