Can (5/5/26) from the brewery. Opaque, banana-smoothie yellow with tons of sparkle, thin head with fair retention, light lacing. Aroma is huge papaya, guava and citrus, masking subtle alcohol in the background. Taste mirrors aroma to a T with late malts. Smooth, creamy, frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste, light, late alcohol astringency and even later pleasant warmth. Super juicy, which is awesome. Alcohol close to being fully covered but, as they say, "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." Minor points off for that.

Canned 5/5/26, drunk 7/8/26, from tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
Beautiful nose is chalk full of fresh guava and passion fruit. Light mineral, funky white wine and supportive, juicy mango from the Citra. Malts seem lush and supportive, adding honey and white bread-like notes, without excessive sugar. No alcohol noted.
Touch of alcohol up front, in the flavor, however, with juicy mango, papaya, guava; that sort of thing. Some lingering mineral and passion fruit, as well retronasal, but a bit watery at points, oddly, and the slight alcohol character dulls things, as well.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Much thanks!
Aroma and flavor shows bold some fruits. Peach, apricot, mango. Mouthfeel is very juicy with fruit that pops. I will say that the 10% is hidden until you finish the can.
I know this Brewer could brew this same beer without having it to be 10% ABV. The big alcohol just seems a bit gratuitous.

Pours a hazy, orange juice color, with minimal head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, with almost a light note of mint(?) upfront. Flavors are citrus and tropical fruit, with a light underlying sweetness. Very soft, smooth mouthfeel. Mild to moderate hop bitterness in the finish. A masterful triple.
