16 ounce can. Hazy medium gold color. Finger high frothy beige head. Fragrant tropical citrus aroma. Pineapple, passion fruit and mango. Intense bittersweet tropical fruit flavor upfront. Notes of grapefruit, lemon, orange and mango. Some dankness and warming alcohol in finish. Very nice.

Keep the Easter theme going. Hoppy, though tropical, smooth. Mosiac!

16oz can. Another fine Toppling IPA - no one as broad and consistent in the IPA game. Terrific.

Can, a month in date. Very hazy orange with a loose white head. 3- Aroma of pineapple, crackers, fresh grass clippings, cooked passionfruit pulp. 7+ The texture is just a little chalky; moderate carbonation. Sweet and very fruity with grass/ herbal and white pepper notes just threatening to undermine the fruitiness. The tropical notes besides pineapple are more vibrant than suggested by the aroma. Bitterness struggles to cut through a bit and is then a little harsh when it arrives but that does emphasise the fruit and then provide a finish.
