16 ounce can. Hazy orange gold color. Fluffy beige head is moderate in size. Fresh citrus fruit aroma. Notes of grapefruit. Flavor is dank citrus, plain and simple. Sticky and bittersweet. Some caramel malt in middle. Resiny citrus and pine in the finish. Nicely done.

Can (4/7/22) pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! It's a clear, pale gold with nice sparkle, finger-width off-white head with fair retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is grapefruit, dank resin and malts. Taste mirrors aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and moderately bitter finish. Overall, not an improvement on the Sunshine brand and not ambitious. Fine but forgettable.

Canned 3/14/22, drunk 3/24/22. Clear, bronze-golden with a large, white head that steadily fades away. Nose is not over-grapefruited, so that's good. But as with the sunshine series, there's a lot of bland, biscuit malt and very little brightness. Not punchy-twangy but just not that expressive/juicy/explosive. Very clean. Same for the mouth. Like Sip, it's just so safe and bland without even enough bitterness to balance all the bland, chewy biscuit. Grapefruit is done tastefully, at least.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Soapy tan head with little retention recedes to nothing. Sweet grapefruit and citrus aromas. Sweet with honey and caramel upfront turning to bitter pith and peel in the lasting finish.

On tap at Three Penny pours a sunset orange with some frothy white head. Nose has that fresh grapefruit, citrus, juicy, malt, grass. Flavor follows, lots of grapefruit, not a ton of double sunshine. Bitter and tart finish. 8 4 8 4 14
