Clear golden amber brew with plenty of foam in the Zundert chalice. Aroma of tangerine and pine. Substantial body with malt and lively carbonation. Huge citrus taste, but enlivened by peach and pineapple. Moderately sweet in keeping with the higher alcohol but not too alcohol tasting. Quite pleasant for sipping with the bitter and fruity aftertaste. From the 16 oz can purchased at O'Shea Brewing.

Poured a light gold body with some decent head and lace. Beer has an acidic bite to it that balances the the juicy, passion fruit-like sweetness that I'm getting and then the medium-bodied beer has a nice fluffiness to it on the finish.

Just added this beer to the database, had it last Saturday at the 23rd annual dipa festival. Also writing a review for it, because you know, just because they took your stats (temporarily, like the wait for a BA app, hurr durr), they're coming back. Whoop.

Pours a nice golden color replete with ample clarity. Solid looking beer. Great hop selection and well done execution, Strata, Citra and Nelson. Citra seems to have this taming effect on Nelson, its not my jam to have them together, mutes all that garlic body odor dankness, but hey, sawfter times I guess, this still brought some weed and tangerine vibes.

Taste is nice as well. Tangerine, grapefruit, berries, passion fruit, weed. The bitterness is higher and the dankness is lower in the mouth feel. I guess Strata and Nelson can double as bittering/aroma hops up in here, hence the result.

This was the 5th beer I had that day, and it was the best thus far into the day. Never heard of this brewery, will try to keep my eyes and ears open in the future to them.

EDIT: Just had it again at the 24th dipa fest, that one scored 3.75/5, so it seems pretty consistent "through the years. . . "
