Gifted for my birthday in August 2022 and drunk shortly thereafter.

L: Rich yellow. Hazy and opaque. Thin, short-lived head. No lacing.

N: Orange, orange peel, pineapple. Smells sweet, like an Orange Split, which is a classic Australian ice cream with a sherbety icy outer covering over an ice cream base. Mmmm..... Orange Split...

T: Grapefruit, grapefruit peel, and pith. Spicy, over-fermented pineapple. Some sort of spirit - tequila? No, it's pine needles, at least according to the can. I can't shake the thought now that the taste is menthol. Whatever it is, it's weird, and it detracts from all that went before it.

[After writing this review and coming across similar taste profiles in other hazy beers, I read a review that described the taste as shampoo in your mouth. That's as close a descriptor to the actual taste as I've come across. I've since used that descriptor in other beers!]

F: Medium carbonation but otherwise smooth and appropriate for a hazy.

O: That weird end note in the taste is too distracting. It overwhelms all else and takes the enjoyment away from the beer.

Cheers!
