Can (6/2/21) pour from Trader Joe's, Bedford. It's an opaque dark yellow-light brown with trace sparkle, two-finger width white foamy head with good retention and nice ring of lacing. Aroma is strong tropical fruit and tangerine. Mild grape as it warms. Taste is strong, sweet candied fruit and grape. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth texture, soft carbonation and dry finish as taste with only the mildest late alcohol warmth. Overall, interesting difference between aroma and taste. A little thin.

Pours a brilliant opaque gold from a can. Aroma is a light mint, marmalade. Flavor is a light refreshing herbal mintiness at the start, as the beer warms grapefruit and guava are added. Sweet but with a faint bitterness in the second act. Very good beer.

On tap at Burlington Beer Co, pours a cloudy peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lightly dank hops, with some citrus and plenty of stone fruit pithiness. Flavour is very juicy and bitter, with lots of fresh stone fruits, plenty of pith, some yeast, and fairly low dankness. Nicely balanced, with little harshness. Very good.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Pineapple and mango aromas. Soft with guava and pineapple upfront turning to dry, dusty yeast in the lasting finish.
