From an undated 16oz can into a tulip glass.

Pours an opaque yellowish orange with about one and a half fingers of white head. Decent retention, great lacing.

Smells of oranges, mandarins and peaches with some floral and pine notes.

Unfortunately, the taste is dominated by alcohol. There's some juice in the background but it's not distinct.

Strangely, with all the alcohol, it drinks easy enough. Has a soft, thin mouthfeel. Slight alcohol aftertaste.

So they put 46 different hops in this beer all I taste is alcohol. Gonna chalk this one up to not being fresh (no date). It's a great idea, but not sure it worked out.
