Fairly hazy orange and raw honey coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall tan head, but the body glows like orange juice and is around eighty per cent opaque. Aroma of deep flowers, hay, grass, oranges, mangoes, melons, papaya and some pepper too - with alcohol and malt noticeable as well. Full-bodied; Deep and juicy fruit notes dominate, with some flowers, grass, resin, honey and especially perfumey hops all there, but the orange, mango and deep (full-bodied) melon notes are the strongest here. Aftertaste shows the fruits, rich body and sweetness, seemingly all before any real hops or bitterness comes through, and a prolonged dose of alpha acids doesn't happen with the hops being quickly drowned out due to the syrupy sweetness and fruits here. Overall, a nice, very rich, sweet, fruity and deep beer that almost tastes more of an American Strong or Wheat Wine than a true Imperial IPA, but that just shows how 'new school 'this is. Nice to sample, but not great and the price I at least paid for this was a bit too steep. 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! sampled at my house here in Washington on 11-January-2021.

Can from explosivedog: pours hazy light orange with a white head. Aroma is loads of tropical fruit, passionfruit, pineapple, citrus. Taste is juicy, sweet, fruity. Light bitterness. Wonderful profile. Riwaka, a hop that can turn out real bad, does nothing but good stuff here. Quite nice.

Pours a hazy, golden-pineapple, with mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, with some green onion. Flavor follows. It has some sweetness and a fairly bitter helping of pine/spruce hops at the finish. ABV is well-hidden in this one.
