Can, undated, but fresh off the shelves in Boston, drunk 9/14/16.
Deep apricot-golden with an off-white head atop that shows moderate retention. Clarity is moderate with a solid haze, but no hint of soupiness.
Good juiciness to the nose, with nectarine-mango and a light dank/green character behind it. Light melon brings up the rear and the malts provide plentiful honey-like character. As it breathes there’s more lime and white grapefruit emerging which helps dry out the malt. A touch of resin and/or alcohol but otherwise quite juicy and with lots of bright citrus. No flaws.
Begins with a soft, malty texture and low but fairly engaging carbonation. Marmalade-like citrus notes vie with softer, juicier tropical fruits. Lots of lime and lemon as it continues on, finishing moderately sweet and with some light sharpness to the citrusy acidity. With the last third of the glass, it seems to grow just a touch too resinous and slightly heavy-handed on the malts, as well. But otherwise, this is quite nice stuff.

On tap at Brouwerij Lane. Pours a cloudy gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is melon and dank hop. Medium mouth, juicy, melon, mango, crushable, very nice.
