9/18 pack, waited too long in fridge.

Hazy honey pour. Extra sticky head. Sticky, ugly, frozen glass.
Tangerine, soapy, herbal nose.
Juicy, moderately astringent, long pithy grapefruit, honey, itchy cereal, bright ending. Not very hoppy but this astringency keeps building to uncomfortable levels.
Frothy, fizzy, itchy but on the thinner side. Abv is warming & a bit filling.
Bottom of the can is dark slurry & yeasty.

Hoppy and fruity, fairly sweet. A bit of grapefruit with orange and tropical fruit, smooth, nice.

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a large white head that slowly laced down. Aroma of pale stone fruits. Med body. Juicy and not dry. Mildly bitter with a fruit bite. Peach, mango and other things for flavor. It's a very good flavor.

Can shared at Ganz. Murky yellow pour with a white head. Citruses, lots of candied fruits, spicy touches I mainly get from Vic Secret. Light bodied, drinks well below the ABV but not thin at all. Pleasant.

16 oz can from Wegmans, 2/25/25. Pours a fully hazy orange color with a nice, frothy white head. Orange, mango, papaya. Juicy and fairly sweet. Could use a little bitterness to balance out the sweetness, but it’s still pretty good. Solid overall feel. Slightly sticky toward the close. Pretty good beer.

From tap at Tørst, New York. Well-hopped with mango, tropical fruits, some citrus, orange, passion fruit, some oniony dankness. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a bitter finish. Pretty well-rounded IPA, fruity and dank with a solid bitterness. Fruit-bomb.

Pours a nice hazy deep orange from a can. A lot of citrus along with funky Vic secret aroma, similar flavor. Okay balance. Good beer.
