From a 16 oz. can dated 04-08-2021. Sampled May 8. 2021.

The appearance is what one would expect from the style with a murky, hazy yellow color and a modest, lacing-leaving foamy head up top.

An array of tropical fruit aromas hit the nose with grapefruit being the prime sensation along with mango and guava. A lower profile cereal grain.

Soft, medium mouthfeel.

The tropical fruits are the essence of the flavor too with a subtle breadiness in the background. But I also get this kind of burning bitterness at the end.

From pint can marked 04 03 21

Pours into my tulip glass an opaque pineapple gold with a bubbly offwghite head.

Scent is cat pee and onion. Yes really.

Taste is citrus tropical fruit and green melon. A big dank oniony note. Yum. Hop resin. A hint of pine. Some lime and grapefruit.

Mouth is a juicy medium.

This one really hit the spot for me. Nice big dank resiny hops in both the nose and the taste.

Not bad. Smell is bitter and piney, a bit of citrus fruit or berry undertones. Taste follows. Complex hop profile; citrus, bitter, dank, pine, and some sweet fruit flavors to go along with it. Good but nothing special.

Poured into a 16 oz Nordic pint glass, canned 4/8/21. Pours an attractive orange yellow with a finger plus sticky white head that leaves thick streaks of lace with excellent retention. 4.25

Aroma melon, mandarin, peach, apricot, and some grapefruit rind. 4

Taste follows honeydew, mandarin, peach, apricot, and pink grapefruit well balanced with just a little bitterness in the finish. 4

Mouthfeel is bigger than most, a tad sticky but not dry, rather soft carbonation, and at 8.4% it goes down very easy. 4.25

Overall I am enjoying this one. I would recommend giving it a shot. 4
