Pours an opaque dirty yellow that has a bright orange hue when held up to sunlight. The massive cream head refuses to recede and leaves great lacing. The aroma is soft ripe fruits, melons and citrus. Flavor is not as wonderful as the aroma, with an odd bitterness leading into the fruit. Feel is medium body, creamy. Overall a very nice beer.

Poured from 16oz can into glass. No canning date information found on can or on label.
Cloudy, opaque gold colored body. One finger puffy, white head settles to thick cap. Some webs of lacing left behind.
Aroma of tangerine, orange, pineapple, melon, and slight bready malt.
Taste is initially sweet, with tangerine, orange, peach, and pineapple, and at the end is slightly more bitter with citrus rind. Also has earthy and floral hops, along with sweet bread.
Medium mouth feel with good carbonation. Slight sting at the end, and dry.
One of the better Drekker beers I have had, with well balanced smells and tastes, and an appealing appearance for style.

Pour is hazy yellowish-orange. Foamy, thick, medium white​ head with good lacing.

Smells Citrus, melon, tropical and malt hints.

Taste grapefruit, orange, mango, melon, lightly fruity, bready hints and slight vegetal. Finish is dry with citrus peel linger and malt. Medium body and creamy medium carbonation. one of my favorite double ipas.

L: drops hazy gold under a 1" persistent white foam cap

S: Moderate hop based fruit aromas rise from the glass including citrus, melon, tropical fruit, some tangerine, fruit skin and light bread crumb

T: rich fruit flavors meet some bread crumb to biscuit lightly sweetened by a trace of caramel. The fruit flavors are complex and layered featuring melon, citrus and tangerine

F: The medium bodied beer is creamy with medium, very soft and luscious carbonation

O: a delight to drink with a very nice balance of flavors and a wonderful luscious texture

This beer pours a slightly hazy yellow with a decent head. The aroma is wonderfully pungent, with peach, pineapple, mango, tangerine, and vanilla. The flavor starts nice and juicy, with peach, watermelon, tangerine, and mango, with a strong bitter edge. The mouthfeel is fairly full and soft with bright carbonation. Overall this is a really tasty beer - I love that it maintains some bitterness while still being vibrantly fruity - very well done.

Can. Hazy orange sunset. White head.

Reminds me of hooey. Juicy and tropical. Mango and papaya. A little bit of citrus fruit. Floral and earthy hops. Easy drinking. Good stuff.
