16oz can poured into a tulip

A- pours a hazy yellowish-orange color with a one-finger foamy white head that reduces to a thin film floating on top

S- tropical citrus hop-forward aroma with notes of mango, papaya, ripe melon, grapefruit peel & orange zest. Slightly grassy and just a hint of toasted malt

T- a bit maltier than expecting up front, sweet bready notes eventually give way to the tropical citrus notes of mango, green melon, tangerine and grapefruit. Sweet malty finish that continues into the linger

M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that turns into a creamy finish

O- nice tropical notes throughout but a bit malty at times

 

This is the Burgeon version of the collaboration with Artifex of San Clemente which I had in it's native habitat. Aroma is ripe honeydew with some gardenia. This is alleged to be brewed with Galaxy, Nelson, Amarillo, and Vic Secret hops, plus enough wheat to cloud it up. Big handsome head in the Maredsous goblet.

This is a big fruity mouthful with a steely vein of bitterness running through. Some green melon and mango plus a modestly sweet malty taste. Pleasantly frothy in the mouth. Tangy and fruity. From the 16 oz can purchased at Bine & Vine in the four-pack.
