Caramel. Some orange, pineapple. Basically tastes like caramelized pineapple, or pineapple jam. Pours golden with a little hazy and decent head -- at least that's what a dash poured on the beach sand looks like. Finishes sweet with some booze, a hint of bitterness. Can.

More sweet than juicy, mixing overripe fruit notes with caramel and pineapple, followed by a modest mineral bitterness and a slight saccharine bite. Wet malt and lingering citrus in the fade. Close, but not quite good.

Tall can from Brewcraft at home. About 3 months after canning date. Hazy amber ruby pour with some light sediment. Puffy white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is stone fruit, pine resin, overripe mango, alcohol. Taste is big juicy boozy bitterness. Mango, alcohol, peach, citrus zest. Bitter burn on the finish with lasting warmth. Palate has very fine carbonation with prickly bitterness. Very nice - would get again if I could find a fresher one.

A murky, orange beer, a head is quite small and blond. Aroma has pineapple, grapefruit, mango, low fructose, not so fresh. Taste has mango, graoefruit, fructose, some bitterness, could be much more. Medium bodied. Good beer.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, good fine minerally crispness. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Crisp piney hops into slightly ripe orange. Touch of semi ripe tangerine. Crisp finish. Hmm, light for the abv and dangerously drinkable but lacks the hop complexity it should have for what has been used.

Pour is a hazy bright orange with a average white head. Aroma is a decent enough pithy tropical fruit. Flavor is more of the same. A decent enough tropical fruit with a berry aftertaste. A little heavy and a little sweet are a few knocks against this. I also wonder what malt bill they used to give this such a orange color. Good not great.
