Pours a hazy light yellow. Citrus aroma. Odd flavor. Bitter up front. Not much sweetness. Tangy finish. Not a fan.

From a can. Love the label art on this one. Cloudy golden color with a thin layer of bubbles. Smells of citrus and floral hops. Medium body with a sticky resin-like feel. Light malt flavor with tropical fruits and a bitter finish. Wouldn't have guessed this to be 8% ABV without reading the can.

This came to me in a tulip glass and the first thing I noticed was the beautiful bright gold color and the smallish but foamy white head. A quick sniff was rewarded with huge notes of citrus, the aroma of Pineapple and I think I detected Mango in there but the scents were nearly overwhelming. I could have just sat and inhaled the smells forever but I was wanting to see if the flavor profile matched the scent and I was not disappointed. It had a sharp fruity citrus taste initially that was followed by a hoppy tart finish. It finished clean and refreshing with a very light mouth feel for a 8% strength beer. It tastes as bright as it looks and was very enjoyable. This will make a great thirst quencher in the heat of the coming summer !
