Witty Monkey pours a brassy golden beneath an off white and sticky lacing head. Grapefruit tropical nose forward. Candy bite and tingly texture with a far amount of resinous hang. Warming is ample from the 9.5% ABV. Semi dry on the finish.

12 ounce can, best by 10MAR26 stamped on the bottom, thanks to Brutaltruth for this one! Served in a Teku glass, the beer pours a not quite clear but not quite hazy light amber color with about an inch or so off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both good. The brew smells mostly like orange and wheat, along with some tangerine and coriander. I think the taste is similar to the aroma, but all the flavors seem pretty well balanced with no one flavor overpowering the others. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's smooth and easy to drink with a moderate amount of carbonation. ABV is well hidden, doesn't seem like it's 9.5% ABV. Thought this one was OK, but it really didn't do anything for me. I'd try this one again sometime in the future but wouldn't make a point to seek it out either.

From Beer Drop, best by June 16th 2026.
It pours a clear pale gold/orange with plenty of foam, good retention and lacing.
The smell I got as soon as I pulled the tab. Big citrus aromas, mostly oranges but some light lemon. Hints of tartness? I'm not sure aboot that. Coriander is big also.
The taste is is orange citrus that leans towards the sweet side. Light lemon presence, wheat, a hint of fruity tartness. Coriander is definitely there.
Very good mouthfeel, I could drink this again but no hurry.

Aroma is wheat, spices and citrus/relatively close to Mountain Dew. The flavor is fruit, wheat and a complex mix of spices, Mountain Dew and caramel sweetness/alcohol in the finish.
