Can:
A yellowish highly hazed body that has an average head hat falls to a thin, surface-covering white moderately quickly. Nice thin streams of lace.

Nose is peach, lemon-lime, orange rind and maybe a little diacetyl.

With a surprisingly spritzy feel, a peach/lemon-lime soda concoction comes to mind. There’s an earthy bitterness than really tamps the soda concept down, though. Little mango to guava comes in back as the beer warms, also cutting through the earthiness as it strengthens.

The feel is just a bit weird, and whether it is diacetyl or not, it started out light but started catching up with me just a bit by the end of the glass. Started a bit higher in rating, but adjusted accordingly as it warmed.

 

Poured from a can into a snifter. Very bright, hazy yellow-gold color. A vigorous pour produced a modest white head, but the foam stayed for a while. Pineapple, peach, and papaya aroma. I got the papaya more than the other notes. Tropical fruit with pineapple, along with faint blueberry. Not much resin/pine/dankness. A vanilla sweetness on the finish. Not much bitterness. Medium bodies with a slightly sticky feel. Overall a well-made beer but I prefer some bitterness to counterbalance the fruit.
