L: Pours deep orange in color with full on murky complexion. Less than a finger of head from the pour with lesser end of moderate lacing. Looks like dull pulpy juice.
S: Stone fruit for days. Peach and apricot forward with hints of lemon and mango.
T: Tastes decent, with juicy flavors of peach, apricot, grapefruit, lemon and pineapple. Dry hop flavor at the finish with lingering notes of lemon and black pepper.
F: Medium in body, medium to heavy in weight. Low levels of carbonation with booze concealed well.
O: An enjoyable beer with an epic can art. I am glad to try. Cheers!

Appearance - Pours hazy and orange in color with a near finger width, off-white head. Fair retention before dying down to a thin, broken layer of suds. Decent lacing with broken webbing, lines and small spotting.
Smell - Pungent, juicy aroma that fills the immediate area when poured. Orange, pineapple, and tangerine with lesser guava and mango.
Taste - Follows the nose. Super juicy flavor with notes of orange and bitey pineapple upfront, highlighted by some tangerine brightness. Subtle hints of mango and guava ride beneath.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with low-to-fair carbonation. Smooth, slick drinker for an 8.5% beer, but falls a bit flat in the finish.
Overall - One of the juiciest West Coast brewed NE-style hazies I've had in quite a while. We're talking Moonraker levels of juice. A little flat but the flavor makes up for that. Pick this one up if you haven't yet, and skip a single; get a 4-pack.

This is not a good looking beer at all but it works for the style. Super hazy, brownish, greenish beer with a white head that fades and leaves some random spots of lacing. The aroma is sweet, grassy, herbal, dank and citrusy. The taste is grapefruit and caramel sweetness with a ton of spicy, pithy, dank, piney hops. This is a pretty tasty beer even though it won't win any beauty pageants.
