Crystal clear golden and beautiful amber coloured body with a thick-ish three centimetre tall off-white head above the crystal body with millions of small bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of grass, light caramelised sugars with some alcohol and some metallic astringency noticeable in the nose. Medium-bodied; Super syrupy, resinous, sweet and sticky hop and malt notes dominate at first with a lot of apricots and some herbal and perfumey qualities, but the alcohol and especially the cloying sugars are very pungent. Aftertaste is super crisp and pungent with way too much alcohol, metallic astringency and syrupy, sticky, resinous, cloying sugars make this a bit too strong. Overall, even if this would be in an 8 ounce can, it would be too much, but it's twice that size! Overall, a very strong, way too cloyingly sweet and resinous beer that is unfortunately in a format not suitable for the beer, but is at least bitter and showing some strong deep flavours, but good luck drinking the whole thing without falling asleep! Nice to try from Florida, but perhaps not worth the suitcase space if you're flying back home with it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from ABC Fine Wine & Spirits in Lake Buena Vista (Store #004), Florida on 30-April-2022 for US$4,89 sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-June-2022.

On tap at Hunah Day. Pours a hazy orange with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is dank and citrus. Medium body, dank, grapefruit, lingering resin finish, very good.

pint can bought at the source during Tampa Bay beer week, canned 02/28/2018. Orangé, léger trouble, col fin blanc. Arôme met de suite l'accent sur les 10%+ de cette DIPA, C-hops, huileux, résineux, pin, agrumes, Citra, malté se ressent bien niveau cara. Palais est bien marqué par le niveau d'alcool, effet de céréales, épais, note d'amertume des houblons - pamplemousse, fin résineux, petit sucre résiduel en retrait avec un effet de fruits fermentés dû au niveau d'alcool.

BIG THANKS to Sebletitje. Canned. Hazy orange, creamy massive white head. Nose is harsh pine resin oil, brutal, bit boozy. Taste is harsh pine oil, herbal, pine resin, massively thick pine resin juice, low alcoholic boost, caramel. Thick pine & caramel. Great pine resin boost. Heavy. Tasty & heavy.
