Hazy gold with a three-finger head. Aroma was stone fruit and tropical fruit. Taste is also stone fruit and tropical fruit.

Fairly hazy deep copper, bronze and orange coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall tan head that fades quickly and leaves just about nothing on top of the chunky, moving and effervescent, eighty per cent opaque hazy glowing tint. Aroma of alcohol, plentiful malt, honey, syrup and strong alpha acid bitterness with deep hops. Medium to perhaps Full-bodied; Very rich malt flavours show first with a nice body and some nice sweetness from oranges, mangoes, syrup and honey with a deep floral and grassy note that adds a layer of dryness towards the end, but the alcohol, malt, sweetness and fruits show much stronger. Aftertaste is pungent with the malt, body and hops hitting hard, where the fruit and alpha acids fade a bit, the alcohol and syrup seems to get stronger, as would make sense for a ten per cent-er. Overall, a nice enough beer that shows a fairly good balance of malt and hops, a ton of sweetness, mainly from the honey and resin, but a ton of alcohol that shows as a true Imperial IPA at around nine per cent (a slightly easier drinking than printed on the label), so hiding some bite, at least. Good to sample fresh. This one wasn't bad of course, but not amazing and (at least from this source), too expensive for me. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 30-December-2020 for US$8,54!, canned at the source on 11-September-2020, sampled at my house here in Washington on 24-January-2021.

Bursting with overripe peach and melon, followed by honey, mandarin, wet grain, and a modest vegetal undertone. Finishes with an unexpected pine bitterness and moderate hop burn. Okay.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of white foam. Mango, papaya, lime and passionfruit aromas on the nose. A bit of tangerine and iyokan as it warms. Warming on the palate with some candied citrus, mango and dried pineapple. A little bit of fruit syrup and alcohol on the finish with some mild bitterness.

Pours a hazy, darker, golden-pineapple, with minimal head. Aroma is just a touch on the chalky side, with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is a bit chalky (hop burn?) too, with citrus and tropical fruit. Fairly sweet, with a pine/spruce hoppy finish. Soft, full mouthfeel. ABV is fairly well-hidden on this one.
