Appearance: Pours a somewhat cloudy pear nectar color with a one finger head; squiggles and splashes of lacing

Smell: Juicy aromatics, with orange dominant and mango/peach supporting

Taste: Fruit juice forward with orange and mango prominent; a hint of peach adds a floral aspect; the dank hops pack a bit of a spicy, aspirin aspect which I suspect is coming from the Amarillo

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: I am not a fan of Amarillo hops so that makes the finish less enjoyable to me but there is still a lot to like in the aromatics and the juicy/floral aspect of this beer

16 oz. can. Pours hazy orange with very little head. Smells of orange and tropical fruit plus some sweet pale malt. There's a little bit of mosaic garlic backdrop. Tastes of sweet citrus and a heftier dose of mosaic. Lends a little bit of deeper hop flavor. Sweet with little to do bitterness. It finishes with a strong oniony hop back end. Medium body. I expected a bit more heft and sugar from 8%, so I'm pleasantly surprised at the drinkability. Oniony finish is aggressive, but it's fine.

 

 

 

Opaque dark orange with a tall, airy off-white piss foam that dies to a bubbly collar.

This smells dank like Swish, and tastes like potsticker dipping sauce. It's weird af. I'm getting ginger, peanut and rice wine vinegar notes in the spicy dank bitterness, while the aroma is more grounded of resin, burnt rubber and a little orange. I had my second can a free weeks later, and it seems I was experiencing the 'too green' effect. It became more tropical fruit forward, particularly of passion fruit. Still dank spicy and resinous as well with toasted cracker.

The medium body with its light, crackly carbonation finishes tongue-scrapingly bone dry.
