A fairly ugly amber orange body at least has a splay head that doesn’t disappear. Nose has sweeter tropical fruits over top an orange slushee. Taste carries the sweet impression into the opening. Citrus breaks this up in the middle, with the peels thrown in after to bring some bitterness.

16oz can. Date stamp on can bottom is '02/06/23'.
Hazy, pale gold colored body. One finger of soapy white head, which results in an interrupted cap. Leaves behind thin webs of lacing.
Aroma of orange, tangerine, mango, and dank armpit.
Taste is orange, peach, and mango, which is overwashed with dank pine and herb. Gets thin in the aftertaste.
Soft, thicker mouth feel. Quite dry finish. Tongue sting when beer is held in the mouth. Good carbonation.
Lots of hop presence to chew on. Sweet and dank.

 

Appearance: On draft at a restaurant in Virginia. 1.5cm thin bright white foam receded quickly but clung to the glass. Beer is dirty gold in color, like an Arnold Palmer.

Aroma: Mild citrus. Unpleasant dirty dish rag dank odor which was not due to the glass.

Taste: A ton of hop bitterness. Heavy in pine and resin. Some orange and grapefruit rind. The alcohol is there but it’s not bothersome.

Feel: Medium-high carbonation, crisp and clean. Edges toward the thick side. Great balance.

Overall: Not sure what the deal with the odor was, everything else about this beer was just fine and as expected given the style. Extra points for the name (party on!).

Pairing: Very difficult to offset the hoppy bitterness with food. This one goes best by itself.
