Not really too hazy, overripe tropical fruit, juicy but neither particularly sweet nor pulpy and green. Nose is promising: a little orange blossom flowery sweetness, some tangerine. Taste…doesn’t quite deliver the nose: Kind of earthy and pineapple and grapefruit?m, but in an almost overfermented way. This is fine/good, though the taste just isn’t in my sweet spot, and I’m rating to style and missing the hazy look and the soft mouthful.

From a 12 oz can given to me by the brewery rep.

This is a hazy murky pouring beer. Straw colored, with a thick 3 finger white head. I did an aggressive pour so the head from the can may be thicker than most drinking this. The head retention is damn good. There's some very sticky looking lacing on the glass.
The aroma hit me when pouring, and I was getting some tropical notes from it. Up close it is full on pineapple and grapefruit. I also get a very earthy aroma off this aroma.
So full of pineapple in flavor. The grapefruit is way on the back. The earthy I got from the nose really hits in the flavor. It seems like I got the hops straight from the ground (yeah, I know they aren't from the ground). So earthy in flavor.
Smooth bodied. Somewhat soft feeling.
This is tasty. Happy to drink, and I will be getting again.
