Canned 4/20/26, drunk 5/29/26.
Certainly smells the part. Fruity, rich, zesty with green mango, ripe honeydew melon and some tempered but balancing acidity on the end. Good mix of cracker-honey-bread-like maltiness; nothing too rich/sweet. No alcohol noted.
Good bitterness up front with a lot of earthiness and some blandness. Doesn't really get too bright, juicy, or even that fruity; rather just woody, bitter and sharp at points with possible alcohol notes. Very dry, bitter finish. Nothing like Pseudo Sue or Alien Church. Not sure what is going on here. Bizarre that the (really lovely) aroma is so different from the flavor.

Aromas are kind of a retro blend of malt, citrus, resin and a hint of MJ. Flavors are similar to nose with excellent balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Just right body and finish follows flavors. Very good drinking beer.

Draft at Uno Pizzeria & Grill in Hamilton. Murky orange gold pour. Small white head. Fragrant tropical fruit aroma. First sip brings notes of fresh squeezed grapefruit and orange juices. Added notes of mango and peach. Some resiny pine on backend. A tasty collab between two of my favorite brewers is right on the money!

Grapefruit nose, piney accents. Cloudy amber, medium head. Pronounced and almost singularly grapefruit. Medium body, easy carbonation. I had to buy the whole 4-pack for this tick, something I rarely do. No buyer's remorse at all. Very tasty.

Draught at Tapster: pours hazy light orange with white head. Citrus and tropical fruit overload. Excellent nose. Super juicy. Bitterness is refreshingly present. Fresh and excellent.
