Can received in a recent trade.

This one pours a light peach color, pretty hazy, with a small head, and a bit of lacing.

Smells like big tropical fruits, tangerine, mango, and grapefruit, with very little if any malt character.

I expected a bit more bitterness, given the two hops used. It feels super tropical and exotic, with tons of tangerine, some peach, mango, and grapefruit, and essentially no bitterness. As the beer warms, the finish gets a tiny bit buttery.

This is medium bodied, with a slick and oily mouthfeel, and a good level of carbonation for the style.

This is not the best from Upstate, but it's definitely a solid effort.
