Thanks willisread for the can! Poured into a snifter showing hazy unfiltered orange with sparse white foam. The nose shows very subtle oranges. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Notes of light orange with a light mid-palate of clean malts finishing on a light bitterness.

Massive initial burst of juicy, tropical hops, tart and aggressive almost to the point of growing sour, then gaining a bready, somewhat dry middle. Mango and passionfruit dominate the start, but the finish grows thin and bland, cracker malts giving way to a weak, IBU-deficient fade. Way too front-loaded, even though he front’s rather enjoyable. Humongous hop nose, however, and the texture’s silky and clean, what you want in a pale. Just needs more oomph.

Can. Thanks Adrian! Pours a clearish gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Tropical fruit forward nose w/ mango dominating. Smooth as silk on the palate. More mango juice and faint lychee alongside some dank notes as it warms. Very low bitterness. Awesome.
