12oz can. Pours a hazy pale brownish orange with an inch of head. Tons of lacing. The aroma is sweet and citrusy. Lime, creamsicle, tangerine and grapefruit. The taste is more of the creamsicle along with some bready malts, lime, tangerine and pineapple. Dank hops towards the end with some overripe tropical fruits. Medium body with a dry mouthfeel. Good amount of alcohol heat. Worth seeking out.

L - pours a straw golden sunset. Bone white head that all but dissipates, leaving a rather tall ring of lacing behind.

S - orange marmalade and creamsicle. Jammy. Vanilla and very lactosey. Milk sugar for sure. Hints of white bread and a very deep, warming tropical ripe fruit vibe.

T - lactose makes the world go round. Adds a decadent sweet/sugariness that some may find cloying, but warms the palate and soul over here. Orange candy, guava, sticky mosaic hops, and a touch of honey. Dank white bread. Finishes with some numbness, but not much aftertaste beyond a lingering stickiness coating the mouth.

F - full and exfoliating. Okay, I know that descriptor makes no sense but hear me out. It's zesty and a little tangy. A bit mealy. Little beads of hop remnants. Hopefully that paints a picture.

O - Relic continues to impress. This one is standard fare with the bonus lactose, giving it that extra dank, sticky, ripe push over the edge.
