Brings me back to a time... A time where my grandma would spit into her hand and firmly grasp my balls. She called it our secret snowball. How I miss her leathery and weathered hands.

On draught, a hazy pale yellow pineapple color. A head that leaves some descent lacing up top, then becomes slippery on the bottom half.
The pale malt is an undertone, stone fruits and citrus tropicals are dominant, especially grapefruit. Mild pine, but stronger resin to accompany the bitterness.
A strong punctuated resin flavor burst that hits the back of the palate about the same time the carbonation tingle hits on the finish.

 

 

Easy drinking hazy

 

This beer pours a cloudy orange/yellow color with a moderate head. The smell is predominately that of grapefruit and other citrus fruits. It has the flavor of fresh oranges and is moderately sweet and slightly hoppy.

 

 

 

 

 

A good drink, not overwhelming. Looks like 50/50 white grapefruit juice/orange juice combo, has more of a white grapefruit feel. Bitter, well rounded, no lingering sweetness, not much in the way of malt....mostly resinous hop. Twangy drink, if that makes sense. Not bad.

 

 

 

Pours a hazy pale orange with an off white head.

Orange, grapefruit, citrus, pine, floral notes, and a slight buttery biscuit malt.

Orange and grapefruit with a citrus pine punch hung on a slight butter biscuit malt backbone.

 

 

16oz can into a pint glass. NO freshness dating.

Looks very good in the glass. Hazy pineapple juice colored body. Small white head doesn't retain too well, but leaves excellent rings of lacing.

Faintly dank aroma.

On tasting, the smoothness, likely from the wheat/oat use, is the first thing to hit you. The coconut aspect is quite forward, but not oily.

Mouth close to full, finish smooth with a little fruit and dank medley.

Overall, pretty good beer. I usually don't care for coconut flavor in a beer, but however NT did this, it works.
