Very hazy deep copper and orange coloured body with a thick, four centimetre tall just off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of skunky and very funky oats and grainy malts with some hops here, too, of course, but more of a perfumey, nutty and rustic/earthy scent - odd, and nothing juicy in here at all, at least in the nose. Medium-bodied; Very funky malts continue in the taste with a lot of oats and nutty qualities somehow with a grainy finish and only a touch of hops here, with nothing very bitter and definitely nothing 'juicy', even in the slightest. Aftertaste is pretty straight-forward as well with a nutty, earthy and rustic bite with oats, graininess and some softer biscuity notes, but this really is all about the malts and not really showing any/much hops here at all. Overall, this is a pretty substandard beer without any juicy notes at all, no fruits, no sugars and nothing enticing, especially with the malt bill as strong as it is, there isn't anything that provides balance - this isn't really an IPA in the slightest, but a deeper, maltier beer with a tiny bit of hops. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Fairfield, California on 28-August-2022 for US$3,75 sampled in my hotel room here in San Francisco, California just a few hours later on 28-August-2022.

The aromas are a nice blend of citrus and cut grass hops with a little pale malt. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose with a little caramel in there, A little juicy sweet up front but balanced with good carbonation and a bit of bitter. Good body and a slight increase in bitterness in the finish. Nice beer.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours hazy gold with a creamy white head. Juicy citrus wafts from the pour. Could be tropicals with a hint of pineapple. Med body at least. Flavor is juicy - mostly citrus - even a zest or grapefruit aspect. Something tangy/tropical too. Drier than most juicy beers. Caramel support is hardly noticeble - hiding in the hops. Strikingly bitter in a fruity way. Good stuff.

16 oz can from Longs. Hazy straw color, small head, streaky lacing. Aroma is juicy citrus. Taste also brings the juice, big full citrusy flavors. Citrus peel, orange, grapefruit.

Tap at Pita Kabob in Visalia (WAkers). Pours a muddy orange-gold slush with almost no head. Moderate levels of tropical,citrus and slight pine in the aroma. Flavor is muted malt and orange. Thin mouthfeel. Also undercarbonated. A little bitterness in the end is nice.
