Can gifted to me by Eric at Old Chicago.
Canned December 30th 2019.

Pours a hazy straw yellow with over a finger of foam.

It smells hoppy in a tropical fruit way. Mostly pineapple but also grapefruit and some mango.

Taste matches. Pineapple, grapefruit, mango seems to be absent. Some dankness to it, no onions.

Smooth mouthfeel, smooth drinking.

It's nice and I betcha in a fresher state, it would impress me more.

16 oz can from Tavour. Pale yellow/golden, tight creamy white head. Gentle citrusy aroma, oranges and grapefruit. Taste is citrusy and juicy with a mellow bitterness that makes this easy to drink. Smooth and creamy

16 oz. Aroma is cantaloupe, mango, orange, citrus peel, pineapple. Pours murky orangeish-yellow with a fleeting bone-white head that settles into a ring. Taste is light to moderately bitter with lots of juicy sweetness; has a lingering pithy dry bitterness. Prickly, nearly harsh carbonation. Good stuff overall.

16 oz can from my Mother in Law. 05/06/19 stamped on bottom of the can. The pour is a hazed yellow golden with a fizzy one inch white head that falls with splotchy lace. The aroma is mango citrus, orange peel, soft resin, and faint cereal malt. The taste is subdued fruit hops, citrus, floral and cereal grain malt towards the back. The palate is medium bodied, soft carbonation, unfiltered mouth feel and fruit finish. Solid.

Can pour into pub glass from Total Wine & More, Brentwood, MO. Appearance is deeply hazy dark yellow with decent sparkle, finger-width white foamy head, with trace lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit, melon, grape, grapefruit, milder citrus and pineapple, light resinous pine. Taste is as aroma. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, average-to-lively carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, pretty good. Sort of a juicy traditional American IPA or a NEIPA-light (not that I'm suggesting that be a style!).

Can thanks to Carlos! Pours cloudy yellow, large fluffy white head, dissipates leaving nice lacing. Aroma is pine, dank herbs, orange zest, melon. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter. Medium body. Solid, but its about 6 weeks old; I bet it was better then!
