Ridiculously hazy, chewy and fully opaque golden and bright yellow straw coloured body with a decent one to two centimetre tall off-white head that fades quickly and isn't too beautiful, above the 95 per cent opaque body - chunky! Aroma of fruits - mangoes, papaya, guava and some oranges come through, with a lot of candy sweetness here, too and a bit of alcohol as well. Full-bodied; Super rich and chewy malt mouthfeel makes this seem like juice (and look like it, too!) with a lot of mango and papaya notes here, some moderate sweetness, a dash of herbal bitterness and pungency, but a relative easy-drinking profile that gets this down very easily here, with some slight pungency from alcohol at the end, but the hardest thing about this is the rich body. Aftertaste is fruity, sweet and yes, super rich, with some nice hop bitterness here, still, a bit of alcohol and relative easy-drinking profile. Overall, one of the nicer New England ~8 per centers that Adroit Theory makes - quite fruity, rich without being cloying and still easy-drinking, aside from the body. Nice to sample, super fresh and on Halloween (with the scary label on the front) after taking all three of my kids trick-or-treating and visiting all the scary houses in the neighborhood. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's [grocery] in Gainesville (Lake Manassas), Virginia on 05-October-2022 for US$2,33 (as part of a mixed six pack), canned on 09-August-2022 (my anniversary) with the tagline 'Auto-Immolation' on the bottom of the can and sampled at my house here in Washington on 31-October-2022, Halloween night.

Can. Color: Veru hazy orange, white head. Aroma: Hoppy, sweetish, grassy and overripe tropical fruit notes. Taste: Hoppy, bit grassy, strawberry, tropical fruit notes (overripe mango, overripe melon), lactose, cocos hints, boozy hints. Over moderate sweet, light to moderate bitter. Medium body, average carbonation. Ok but personally I would prefer some more bitterness.

Can pour at brewery. hazy yellow golden body with a nice frothy head. Aroma brings a lot of tropical fruit, accompanied by a little stone fruit. taste is more thick fruity flavors and bringing in some dank notes at the finish. Nice
