16 ounce can into a tulip snifter. Had 12/16/18.

Pours a hazy golden orange, with a one and a half inch foamy head with good retention and a good amount of foamy lacing. Aroma is pineapple, tangerine, guava, mango, some passion fruit, a little malt and melon. Faint peppercorn, a little floral. The flavor is less fruity than the nose. Pineapple, malt, guava, some passion fruit and grapefruit, less tangerine. The peppercorns show on the finish, a decent amount of hop bitterness. Smooth, refreshing, a very good light body, well carbonated.

The Styrian Wolf hops shine, lots of good tropical fruit, peppercorns are subtle but add to the flavor. Very enjoyable.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on December 26, 2018. Collaboration with Great Leap Brewing. Brewed with honey, Sichuan peppercorns, and styrian wolf hops. Weird.

16oz can, drank from the can. Appearance is unknown. Aroma is very floral, herbal, tropical fruit. Flavors are definitely unique with notes of papaya, guava, honey, peppercorn, floral bouquet, earthy & herbal hops. Creamy full body, ample carbonation, modest bitterness. Overall, I liked this more in the beginning, but after 8-10oz, drinking the rest of the can ended up being more of a chore than an enjoyment. It's floral aspects with the bold papaya and Asian peppercorn flavors got a bit old.
