Got in a BIF from snaotheus. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 4/1/2022. Pours moderately hazy/turbid green color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Dense foamy lacing and good streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, coconut, lemon, grapefruit, passion fruit, apricot, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, cedar, mint, pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, yeast earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus rind, herbal, woody, spicy bitterness on the finish. Medium-high carbonation, medium body, and fairly crisp finishing. Balanced creamy/grainy malts, and sticky/resinous hops in the mouthfeel. Long resin drying finish, with no hop astringency. Minimal warming 6.2% or hop burn after the finish. Very drinkable and not aggressive. Very bright, dank, and earthy hop flavors, with a nicely soft feeling malt backbone. Great showcase of Sabro mostly, I really liked how it worked here.
