473ml can from Brewdog.com. Smooth, citrusy and grapefruity with some vinous grapes, stingy pine and floral notes. A bit stuffy and sweetish finish, with creamy mouthfeel and mild body. Decent, but feels a bit unbalanced.

At a tasting, smallish creamy head, murky palish orange with yellow hues, aroma of light onions, flowers, hints of vinegar and citrus, light onion flavor with some soap, dry and a touch coarse herbal bitterness. Nice.

Can sample at a tasting at Oren's place. Murky yellow. Fruity hops, a bit soapy, quite dry, moderately bitter, medium-bodied, over-carbonated.

473ml can. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is floral, peach, pineapple, bubblegum. Taste is the same, a little juicier and fruitier than Rekkr, but still quite bubblegummy and floral, peach and pineapple, slightly overripe in fact, low bitterness. Medium bodied, soft airy carbonation.

Cam at home. It pours crazy cloudy orange with a decent white cap. The aroma is sweet, juicy, bright, stone fruits, apricot, mango, persimmon, plum, brioche, touch of marmalade and some green hop rips. The taste is dry, clean, crisp, brioche, pine needles, green vibes, light dank vibes, floury bread, tropical fruit vibes, tangerine, mango, apricot, peach and just a hint of spice with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Fresh, bright and balanced. Rather drinkable stuff.

Can drunk 8/11/18.
Heavily hazy-soupy appearance shows a blonde-lemon yellow with beige and gold tones throughout. White head atop is medium-sized, fading slowly to cover.
The nose has never been the problem with their beers and here, like Rekkr, it shows properly juicy yellow fruits (mango, nectarine, pineapple and tangerine) with low bitterness/acidity and a soft, biscuity malt behind it. Fruity, bubble gum-laden yeast further intensifies the juice character and softness/fruitiness. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth, HALLELUJAH! PRAISE ODIN!, we've got a texture. A real, supple texture and actual malt depth. Furthermore, it's not twangy and resinous. Dry and malty in the mouth with engaging carbonation and juicy, fruity hop notes of tangerine, lime, lemon, orange, mango and pineapple. It's not the most supple texture ever, but it's certainly on the right track and it more than stands up to the beer and leaves you feeling like you drank a beer, not just hop water. The lack of resin and scallion here is impressive, as well, as these hops are both given to a lot of scallion (the Mosaic) and heavy twang (El Dorado).
