From Bine and Vine. Canned August 14th 2025.
It pours a clear paleish gold with a finger head of foam, very good retention and lacing.
The smell is big notes of pine and citrus, tropical fruit, and rather dank. Toasted malt peeks through, barely.
The taste is grapefruit citrus, tropical fruit and dankness, some pine, toasted malt. Very tasty.
Medium bodied with excellent level of carbonation, I would drink this again.

Pint can pours with a clear pure gold colored body that supports a nice off white head of foam. The aroma offers up grapefruit, tangerine, a bit of passion fruit and then a constant background murmur of spicy garlic weedy dankness. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of tangy and bitter grapefruit and tangelo citrus as well as slivers of soft mango juiciness flowing into a sense of floral hops. Like the nose there's a persistent background hum of spicy dank hoppiness that keeps this thing fun and putting it's best hop foot forward. Another winner.
