Draft at Paragon, 3/12/25. Pretty shocked I haven't rated this before, must have slipped through cracks, or sipped through the sunshine. Pineapple, grapefruit, and tropical fruit. Nicely piney as well. Leans dry. Slightly boozy. Tons of flavor. Well made.

My experience has been top shelf with Lawson's and their IPAs. Tonight I am trying Double Sunshine, a 16 oz can, let us proceed. Thanks to Half Time for making this beer available. Tasting glass tonight is a chalice from Belgium, I have it in place and tilt the can. The liquid is an opaque yellow-orange followed by a modest cover of pure white foam that sees a steady refill from the bottom of the glass. Very active I have to say. An inviting smell, tangerines, other citrus, a touch of tropical and some hoppiness. The drink, I call it a combination of left coast and right coast and a good one at that. Orange peel, grapefruit, mangoes, white bread, malt and a nice hops bitterness. An easy drink, I am liking this beer.

I’ve been chasing this one for years. Finally caught up to it two days ago at Petrock’s Liquor’s in Hillsborough, NJ. A Top 50 for the style. Bright honey gold pour. Large pillowy off-white head. Floral aroma has a citrusy accent. Flavor is bittersweet citrus, cracked black peppercorns and distinctive pine. Remarkably smooth and drinkable. Mildly complex sweet fruit notes are balanced by the pronounced bitter finish. Certainly worth the wait.

Can at home in the garden, 28th July 24. Pours a fairly clear golden orange. Aroma is pithy, light resin. Taste is clean, resin, pith, bittersweet, very drinkable and balanced, but I expected a bit more given the high rating overall

Poured at Snallygaster 2023. Aroma was floral and pine notes, light pineapple, orange. Some green onion. Juicy hops, lots of juicy notes. Alcohol is pretty well hidden.
