Can, from the taproom. Pours hazy bright yellow with small foamy off-white head, faint citrus peel aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter citrus-pineapple taste, thin body, long finish. Smooth and easy to drink.

Poured from a 16 oz can that I believe was dated April 9, 2019 on the packaging. Aroma is moderately hoppy with some tropical fruit notes of mango, guava, passion fruit and gooseberry. Lighter pineapple and citrus notes. Light cracker malt notes and a hint of alcohol. Pours a hazy but not murky, golden color with a medium sized, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers on the edges. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes and a bit of biscuit as well. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate hop notes with tropical fruit and citrus most prevalent, but a resinous, dank note that wasn't so much in the aroma. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer but it doesn't live up to my expectations. The hop aromas and flavors are a bit muted and dull, especially in the aroma. It also lacks the juiciness that I was expecting to find. It's clean and otherwise easy drinking though.

Vanilla and some orange. Only a light sense of sourness or lime - fairly milkshake here. Pours hazy yellow with OK head. Light sweet end.
