Poured from a 16 ounce can into a snifter.
Look- Pale gold, hazy, fine white head, slightly above average head retention and lacing.
Smell- Orange, melon, pineapple, white grape.
Taste- Pineapple, melon, orange, overwhelmingly white grape/sweet finish.
Feel- Full body, nectar like, slightly astringent with sweet finish, low bitterness, slightly below average carbonation.
Overall- Nice flavors, except for the extremely white grape heavy sweet finish.

Bottled 10/5/16; drank 10/14/16 @ the Yarchives.
Cloudy dull orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a small bright white head; thick lace.
Dish soap, candle wax & mango notes in the nose...uh-oh...
Medium thick mouthfeel.
Dish soap flavors with some mango accents.
I got through about 4 oz. & poured the rest out; this never should have went to market.

A very solid offering from Mikerphone. The only let down might be the smell in that I don’t pick up much. It’s a bit skunky. Maybe it has let off some since it’s a couple weeks old now. Mouthfeel is nice and soft with good carbonation. I’d pick this up again but if they. Make 12oz bottles rather than a bomber.

Murky golden color with off-white head. Aroma has dank hops with nutty malts. Taste is hoppy, sweetish with slightly caramelized malt. Full bodied with medium carbonation. Quite good but it's a bit too sweet and slightly acrid.

L - quite dark. Almost murky brownish orange. Minimal head, but it looks creamy and silky.
S - pineapple, mango, and passion fruit. Vanilla and orange creamsicle. Slight hint of caramel, but not in the typical malty IPA vein. More like those caramel squares. Smells great.
T - astringent and sugary. Passion fruit candy, slightly acidic. Guava and earthy pineapple bitterness. Finishes with a grassy hoppiness that evaporates the juice off the tongue, leaving only droplets behind. Weirdly enough, the name seems fitting because the dryness has me craving another sip!
F - vibrant and slippery. Meanders on the tongue. Medium to low carb. Tingly.
O - wildly contrasting between juicy and bitter. Great flavors in both directions. Heavy on the sugar and candy. Sweet, for those that like it sweet.
