Taster showing pale yellow with half a finger of clean white foam.

The nose shows moderately intense notes of guava and sweet adzuki bena.

The palate is well carbonated and medium bodied. Guava forward with a adzuki malt backbone and a moderately intense sharp bitterness on the finish. Not bad.

Grapefruit peel, pine, lemon, and malt aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with moderate head. Very sweet orange, lime, malt, and moderately bitter pine and grapefruit peel flavor. Excellent balance and body.

Hazy gold pour. This beer is DELICIOUS!! Very easy on the palate. Tastes like sweet grapefruit water with weed palate. I'm not much on weed but this is super!!

Pretty good, very juicy, offering up notes of gooseberry, grapefruit, papaya, stone fruit, and yeast. Finishes slightly tart, with lemon and chive leading to a modest dank streak in the fade. Not bad, but not my favorite.

Tall can. Hazy gold body with a mostly white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, pine resin, moist sweet earth. The flavor is fruity with great bitterness to balance. Not too sweet, not too bitter and very drinkable.

Hazed golden-orange pour with a medium bone white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lace. Piney hops, citrus and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops, grapefruit, pineapple and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a tropical and citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
