Canned 7/21/26, drunk 8/7/26.
Peachy-pineapple with a zesty brightness to it. Very similar to Lilikoi Single Hop Pale Ale from Hill, though maybe a bit soupier, with more minerality and yeast. So overall, less clarity/brightness than that one, but you still get the main force of this pretty nice (IMO) hop. Cracker, honey, biscuit from the malt balances gently. Low acidity.
Orange-pineapple-papaya with a hint of banana, even. A pretty interesting, funky hop, and there's good bitterness here, to boot (about average for the style). Reasonably malty but with a crackery dryness and levity of body on the finish. Nice. Soupier and less focused than Hill's, but still shows excellent flavor/balance.

Pours a hazy, glowing orange-pineapple, with smallish head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with some dankness and a light sweetness. Soft mouthfeel. Mild to moderate hop bitterness in the finish. Quite good.
