A flash of citrus cuts through the haze like the icy shimmer sailors call an ice blink. Simcoe leads the profile while Sabro and a touch of orange bring impressions of tangerine, soft coconut, and a gentile tropical lift. Bright, refreshing and quietly complex.

The usual look for a hazy. Orange to gold, fluffy white head. Good retention, clumpy lacing.
Nose pops with a wash of tropical notes that are hard to individualize before finding some mango and pineapple. Then some ripe citrus.
Flavor follows suit. Really a nice ride. Te tropical notes share the stage a bit with some orange and tangerine. Finally there is a hint of coconut that gently chimes in.
Mouthfeel is right for style.

3 weeks since canning. A nice looking beer; Not quite opaque, dull dark yellowish, almost tan, but with voluminous white fluffy head of good duration. A decent amount of sticky lacing. Smell and taste both pretty much as advertised. Tangerine- dominated with some subtle tropical fruits. I could not put my finger on the tropical influence but after reading the can description I must agree that there are some coconut influences. Not a generic grapefruit-dominated hazy. Body on the heavy side. Carbonation on the light side.
