Tall can from Yokes. Pours a dirty blonde with a thick haze and big white head. Smells juicy with citrus and fruity bits. Lightly sweet up front with a lingering floral bitterness. Grassy and a bit of malt. Smooth and balanced, but sort of underwhelming.

The pint can I have came from a Total Wine in Austin a couple of weeks ago. I will make a pour into a Belgian glass this evening, it happens. The sight is a cloudy, straw yellow liquid followed by a momentary skim of completely white foam.The nose is somewhat tropical, a bit grassy and meadow. The taste, I'll be straight up here, it is pretty good. Pineapple, grapefruit, a small hoppy bitterness, white bread and mango. More sweet than bitter. Relatively dry. An appreciated fullness. Not bad.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with some floral hops undertones and residual sugar notes. Taste is also a mix of citrusy hops notes with some floral hops undertones and residual sugar notes. Body is full with good carbonation. Enjoyable but lacking some cohesion.

In mouth, a nice sweet fruity biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light tropical fruits, light alcohol warmth, very nice. Can from a convenience store in Seabrook NH.

Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2022. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a slight orange hue and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has some pine and mango with a bit of sweet grain backing. Flavor combines earthy pine, earthy mango and sweet citrus with a sweet grain backbone.

Aroma of dark fruit, citrus, and hop resin. Moderately bitter flavor with resin, melon, peach, citrus, and malt. Full body. Very good.

Orange peel and grapefruit. I actually find this a little better than the ratings on here. Tons of citrus. Hazy orange pour with good fluffy head. A hint of green onion in the finish, but good body overall. Super an from a grocery store.

Pint can from Niemuth's, 5/11/22. Hazy orange, large off-white head, poor retention. Aroma of oats, tropical fruit. Not much there. Taste is mango, yuzu, caramel. Juicy, low bitterness. Huh. I'm just not a fan.

Pours a moderately hazy, peach-orange color, with smallish head. Aroma is muted citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is a stronger mix of citrus and tropical fruit, with some malt sweetness and a moderately bitter, hoppy finish. Mouthfeel seems a bit thin for the style and the ABV. Not bad.
