Poured from 16oz can into my BeerAdvocate teku. Canned 11/11/25.

Appearance: medium-darkish golden hue with a moderate haze anda. thick finger of frothy ivory foam atop.

Smell: sweet and quite fruity with some very berry-like aromas as well as passionfruit and a little pineapple. I like the variety of aromas, but the whole thing comes off as sweet and maybe even a little cloying. It’s not, like, bad, but maybe not as good as it could be.

Taste: kinda like the aroma, the sweetness is a bit heavy here with this particular flavor profile. Passionfruit, strawberry, and melon, with a little bit of bitterness. It’s not bad, but it’s not my favorite.

Mouthfeel: medium-rich body with a decent carbonation and a nice creaminess.

Overall: a pretty good beer, but the sweetness gives it this kinda heavy feeling — it needs something in the flavor or aroma to really pop more to become a great beer.

Pours a very hazed gold with 2+ fingers of frothy pearl colored head. Great head retention, better lacing

S: Tropical fruits, citrus, fades a touch once warm

T: Grapefruit, green melon, papaya, dryness & limes up front, fades a bit as it warms. Guava, pomelo, dryness & a little green melon as this beer warms up. Finishes with grapefruit, a little dryness & limes

MF: Medium body, slight carbonation, good balance

A juicer for sure, I would've liked a little more sweetness, but pretty drinkable

Undated can. Canned approximately 12/7/22 per Instagram.

L: Pours a hazy dark gold with a short white creamy head. Splotchy irregular lacing is pretty.

S: Aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with a hint of dankness.

T: Citrus and tropical up front, some strawberry in the middle, and dry dankness at the end. No alcohol heat.

F: Medium mouthfeel and carbonation.

O: An interesting flavor profile, especially towards the end as the strawberry and dankness elements merge.

A hazy yellow orange with a big and long-lasting off-white froth. Plenty of tropical fruits in the aroma along with some more minor herbal notes. ORANGE AND GRAPEFRUIT. Medium in body with a drying zestiness throughout. Alcohol is barely noticeable. A very merry beer indeed.
