A: The beer is relatively clear dark golden yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that died down, but left a short head covering most of the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of spicy hops are present in the nose along with strong notes of citrus.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that the citrusy flavors are slightly stronger and a little closer to being on par with the spices. There is a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied on the palate and has a crisp bite with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I really like the spiciness in the smell and taste and the "bite" in the mouthfeel of this beer, which seemed to be unique compared to most other beers in the style.

Serving type: can

16oz can served in a shaker pint. 06/14/18.

Pours hazy, pale yellow with a small head. Smell is very juicy -- tropical and tons of citrus.

Taste is just like the aroma -- with a bit more of a resinous flavor to go along with it. It works well.

Mouthfeel is thick, dry. Overall, nice beer.

 

 

 

 

L - light yellow, hazy but not opaque, one finger foamy head sticks around, lots of lacing, a few very small suspended particles if one looks closely

S - unripe stone fruit, champagne-like yeastiness

T - hoppy up front (generally fruity, some lychee), almost lager-like yeasty note, off-dry, slight oaky bitterness on the finish stays well out of IPA territory

F - light, crisp, medium minus carbonation of small bubbles

O - fantastically tasty, balanced, and crushable, this is the beer that will convince your bud lite drinking friends that they like hops after all
