19.2 oz can. Pours a clear golden yellow with a white head. Aroma has guava/passionfruit and orange ctirus hops. Flavor has more grassy hops, but still citrusy and tropical hops. Alcohol is kind of apparent as well. Overall, though, it's pretty nice.

Can pour shared by AdamChandler at Camp Tasting Finale--thanks, Adam! Clear, bright yellow with no sparkle, ring of head and no lacing. Aroma is citrus, background malt. Taste is citrus and base honey malt. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste.

19.3 oz. Can. Thanks Adam. Weird thing I don’t even really smell anything. Flavor is very weak mango and or pineapple. A little sugary on the finish. Not terrible. Certainly could get you drunk.

Big stovepipe can off the clearance shelf, for a buck, oh my!! Pour is clear pale and nose is big strong volatile IPA hops. First taste is simply straight up big ass alarming alky cloying perfume like a bitter biting bomb. Quick warming sensation on the smallest sip causes a frightening shock to the intake manifold system. What a mouth coating mega mess! Not sure why this is called tropical, its just a fricken unnerving agitation. No sign of anything tropical here. What on earth? I guess this stovepipe has one purpose in life; to get you a quick foreskin fookin bizz buzz; and half way thru the can, its working. Whew, goose island has come a long way since the first Gee Eye beers I had back in 2005. Seriously, this stuff is inducing the firewater hootch intoxicant moonshine palliative rotgut sauce gag reflex!! One bad ass ball busting bastard. I'll give it a +0.5 points for it accomplishing it's punishing purpose. Otherwise, if this was on sale every day, I'd by this instead of a 40 oz bottle of paper bag cheap malt likkah to catch the desired brain numbing effect. There, you have it.
