Pours a straw yellow color with a white head . Smell is tropical fruits. Taste has citrus mango papaya and grape fruit . Mouth feel is super juicy and soft, very good NEIPA.

16oz canned 8-26-19, opened 11-17-19.
2 finger white head crests over the rim of the glass and has excellent retention. Opaque bright orange/gold DDH DIPA. Fresh, full lacing.
Ripe orange, clean pine, faint pineapple and various tropical fruit notes.
Big tangy passion fruit is a surprise out of the gates. Tropical notes take over in the flavor. Guava, pineapple. Mild orange middle to the end. Touch of pine in the finish as well.
Soft mouthfeel, medium body, low to medium carbonation. Full hop flavors and very low hop bitterness. 8% is well masked.
Very Good especially considering I was late to open this one, I was prepared to rate leniently...no need.

Can. White head. Hazy sunset orange.
This is a banger from FS. Straight pineapple and orange juice. Tropical, juicy, and fruity. Soft with no bitterness. Mango, payapa, melon. Wow! One of Minnesota’s finest.
