Cloudy lemon amber color. It looks like peach juice. Small head but it leaves decent streaks on the glass.
Tropical juice smell -- pineapple, coconut, and mango. More sweet than bitter (pine resin and grapefruit rind). Attractive.
The body and flavor starts off thinner than expected. The high carbonation adds to the effect. The swallow, though, brings a stronger than anticipated bitter bomb. Borderline extreme in the aftertaste. Overall, the aroma is left to carry this beer.

A 1 pint can with no canned on or best before date printed on it. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy bright golden orange colour with a two finger white head that had decent retention while leaving some lacing.
Aroma: Orange, grapefruit, pomelo flesh and pineapple with a hint of mango.
Taste: Pineapple, lemon zest, pine, herbal tea and lightly spicy.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
Overall: This was pretty good, but heavier than expected.

Really hazy unripe apricot color with white head. Aroma has unripe fruits, mostly citrus but also pineapple, really hoppy and fresh, a bit yeasty. Taste follows with juicy hops, really fruity with a low bitterness. Medium body with smooth mouthfeel. I really enjoyed this one, smooth and easy drinking.
