L: Pours a hazy lemon yellow with a small white head and a few fingers of lacing.
S: Lots of fresh tropical fruit, including orange, pineapple, mango and some lemon and a bit of earthy weedy hops.
T: Lemon hops, some pineapple and mango, a bit of weedy floral hops, a little earthy. Not as juicy as expected.

Can from Tavour, Hazy dark yellow in color with a thin bubbly white head that shows moderate retention. Citrus tropical and oxidized hop aromas. Bits of bready sweet maltiness and light alcohol. Decent beer.

Pours an opaque orange with a half inch fluffy white head that left minimal lacing. Smells of strong tropical and citrus fruits. Tastes of blood orange, tangerine, papaya, under ripe pineapple and apricot. Medium bodied, highly carbonated bordering on over carbonation, prickly mouth feel, dry and light to moderate bitter finish.

Sweet orange tropical nose on this one! Taste follows with citrus bitterness on the swallow even though the IBU are not too heavy. It has decent depth just slightly over carbonated for my tastes.

Canned 11/13/18
Appearance - Pours hazy and orange in color with no head, and the layer of suds that forms as it pours fades within seconds, leaving a completely barren surface. No lacing.
Smell - Fruity aroma hitting on citrus, pineapple, fresh green leaf, tropical character and lesser berry.
Taste - Follows the nose. Citrus and pineapple upfront and throughout, with lesser notes of peach and guava, and then a bit of strawberry kicks in as it reaches mid-taste and continues into the finish. Aftertaste lingers with orange, pineapple and strawberry, mostly.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with light carbonation. Slick, easy drinker makes this a smooth drinker.
Overall - Really fruity, tasty brew. I don't recall if I've ever had a beer featuring Styrian Cardinal hops before, but I'll be on the lookout for more. Very interesting hop that seems to have a lot of potential. As far as the beer goes, really tasty flavor profile. With a few tweaks this could be an amazing all-around brew.
