Two fingers fo mildly cream white foam for a head, above average retention, leaves large, soapy streaks behind. The bright yellow liquid fully hazy and opaque. The nose overflows with lemon, blood orange and a hint of pink grapefruit, hard for much else to find space, still there's a laser beam of dank leafiness, black tea leaf, some pickle brine, and a decent amount of nectarine, passion fruit, melon scents. The constantly churning carbonation helps it stay medium-bodied while the ultra sweet tropical fruit wants the can to say Del Monte on the label. Nice dollop of pine sap along with oats to temper the tartness. Tangerine, lime, lemon citrus really accelerate through the mid-palate. Vanillin notes surface through the finish. The flavors are deep and resonant, there is absolutely nothing subtle about this beer. Happy to careen along for the ride for one can but would be hard pressed to have a second in a single sitting.

16 oz. can.
Canned 10/22/20.
Moderate pour yields a one inch off-white head over a murky body with sticky lacing. Nose of citrus (orange, tangerine) with some floral attributes and a bit of spice. Taste is sweet citrus all the way and finishing with a slight citrus peel bitterness and spice. Also, there is some slightly odd (not in a bad way) flavor, maybe due to the use of the three (oats, wheat, pilsner) malts? Anyway, it has a great feel and overall, a rather pleasant experience while hiding its 10% abv really well.
Cheers!
