Crazy looking clear amber and bronze coloured body with a light orange glow, all covered by a single centimetre tall large-bubbled head, but the big floaters in this one are everywhere and makes this seem like a suspension or colloid and definitely not a solution! Aroma of deep malts, sugars (honey and syrup), guava and mangoes and a touch of alcohol in the nose, too, but the scent is much closer to juice than beer, especially an IPA! Full-bodied; Rich wheatie and oaty malts show at first with a lot of guava, mango and papaya fruit notes are very strong with a lot of sugars - mainly showing honey, but some lactose, too, and ending with a very slight bitterness in the finish. Aftertaste is rich with sugars, light fruit, some malt, but no alcohol notes, at all - this is hidden amazingly well, especially at 10 per cent, with no hop bitterness, either - this shows like a Tripel. Overall, a very nice, super dense, fruity, rich, sweet and syrupy beer that is super new school with no bitterness, hardly any alcohol flavours at all, a ton of richness and fruit notes and of course, instead of haze, zillions of large floaters here - crazy looking, but this is till a great beer - nice to have local-ish and very fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Newport News, Virginia on 20-November-2022 for US$6,99 into the store on 13-September-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 08-December-2022.

Pint can, WW. Golden with a hint of hazy and a white head. Guava, citrus, tropical fruit nose. Guava, pineapple, grapefruit peel, pine. Somewhat juicy, but with a nice bitter bite. Good stuff.

Decided to stay an extra night in Arlington, off tomorrow, so will begin the close to three hour journey home tomorrow. Only my second beer today, was expecting many more than that, but a quiet day/ night is required. Guava/ sweet/ bitter. Cheers all!
