Imperial Brazil Loves New England

Super hazy, deep and opaque straw yellow coloured body with a golden glow and a thinnish, pure white head that fades pretty quickly, over top of the 95 per cent opaque golden body. Aroma of oranges, mangoes, pineapple, yeast, lactose, cream, vanilla and a bunch of papaya with some oats and wheat both noticeable. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong blood orange and light grapefruit notes at first with a big hit of bitterness from the acidity of the fruits and less from the actual hops, but some good richness from the malts especially the wheatie notes with a lot of papaya and mangoes on the finish. Aftertaste shows some wheat and sugars at first, but the orange, mango and especially papaya notes really come out closer to the end with a great profile throughout and quite rich from both the malt and the hops. Overall, a very nice and enjoyable beer with a great profile throughout with a ton of fruit notes, especially the mango and papaya notes along with a dash of pineapple as well, but the malt really holds this together and provides a great balance to the rich flavours throughout. Great to sample, especially super fresh and on the holiday while on holiday! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased earlier in the day from Knightly Spirits (Orange Blossom Trail) in Orlando, Florida on 31-December-2022 for US$4,99 sampled in my hotel room here as the fireworks shot outside, in Orlando, Florida on New Year's Evening with my wife and three kids into 01-January-2023.
