16 oz can dated 3/20/17 (2 months old)
This does not appear to be the same recipe as originally added and reviewed. Mine is a very cloudy to opaque NEIPA looking beer - NOT a beer of "great clarity". It has a deep and bright gold orange color like orange/pineapple juice. There is a nice half-finger silky smooth head with beautiful, even lacing. Aroma is fresh but modest with notes of lemon and orange and mango. The taste is bitter up front with a nice mix of sweet tropical orange and grapefruit tones that fade into a smooth oaty flavor. Feel is selzery and a little sticky, a bit creamy from the additives.
This is a seriously flavorful beer with a nice bitter punch to it. At 5.2% it is a reaching session levels... I love that they made something so packed with flavor and intensity into a lower alcohol beer. I am definitely finding more of this stuff.

Has a very clear yellow color with very little foam. Taste is slightly citrusy upfront with slight hoppy tones. It is very light and drinkable. I like the initial taste but there is zero complexity so you are left somewhat underwhelmed at the end.
