From a 16oz can purchased at the brewery. Packaged on 07/16/24.

This is a murky and hazy looking beer. The color is a golden shade. There's a 2 finger white head that has some good retention. There's some lovely lacing on the glass.
The nose is tropical in character. I get some mango and pineapple off it.
Taste - The flavor is a good pineapple bomb. The pineapple is cut with a bit of mango sweetness. I also get some orange that hits on the way back of this beer.
I am surprised how juicy and soft this beer feels. Full bodied.
Delicious beer, and so glad I bought it.

Compared to Old Irving Beezer 12/2022: Pours lighter, stronger aromas. More juicy flavors. Less bitter. Better all around

Overall: A good showcase of the Strata and Sabro hop here. First, a touch of mango from the Strata, but the Sabro gives it the lemon-lime and grapefruit citrus, kiwi, and coconut flavor. Light, dry, and clean. Drinks as described. (Rating: 4.00)

L-Hazy yellow/tan

S-Love this aroma...that trademark Sabro coconut leads the way but also notes of tangerines, stone fruits and strawberries.

T-Juicy fruity flavor with coconuts and strawberries the biggest of the impressions...getting touch of limes as well on the finish...

F-Medium bodied...

O-I really like this one. A little different with the flavors and aromas than your standards in this style and I find it delicious.

Pours a hazy bright straw color with a fresh white head . Smell is sweet tropical hops . Taste has melon,citrus ,berries ,tangerine and lemon. Mouth sweet more so than dry ,
