Fresh Lila
Fly Llama Brewing

Had Fresh Lila poured from pint can, no date, into nonic pint.

Pours apparently deep orange-brown, but actually murky, darkened orange juice, certainly a bit oxidized, with 2-finger, creamy off-white head, and excellent retention, leaving thick rings of lace down the glass. Big lime aroma off pour, then aromas of pineapple and strawberry, all continuing along with some melon aroma as warms. On tasting, begins deep tropical melon and sweet berries, including strawberry, with a little lime, over an oat thick, mild malt base, before big tropical fruit--think guava/passion fruit pineapple, pear and strawberry--and a lime crisp but not too bitter, a bit cardboard finish.

Nicely citrus and tropical, thick and juicy NEIPA, or it should be. Apparently mildly oxidized, and I opened two cans from a 4-pk. I would not have reviewed based on that sampling, but I emailed the brewery about oxidized cans, and the brewery never acknowledged the email, made no statement on social media, and is still selling the packaged product at its taproom. May be a good beer if the brewery gets its canning line in order, and/or begins respecting its customers.
