19.2 oz. Can from Publix. Pours a crystal clear yellow-gold color with an off-white head and very good retention. Fair lacing. Hoppy aroma. Very hoppy and bitter flavor with no tropical notes and a strong alcohol finish. Not sure why they have tropical in the name. Medium body and medium carbonation. Strong bitterness. All the wrong stuff for me. Tick.

Clear golden colour, medium sized creamy, long lasting white head; aroma of tropical fruits lile pineapple, mango and litchi, some grapefruity, grape, earthy-yeasty and orange notes; well balanced bittersweet taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma and some spicy alcoholic aftertaste; good one

29th July 2023. 19.2oz can, the last beer of my month in California (different/new beer number 189), it's been a hoot. It's poured a clean and clear golden colour with a thin and weak white wispy head. Hoppy front with, tropical fruits and a floral twist in the aroma for me. The bitterness from the hops does burn a little (as mentioned by others when reviewing this), not really come across that before, it's rather 'intense' actually and not altogether nice, almost harsh in fact. I need something to eat before I will be able finish this large can. A small packet of Doritos did the trick, took the edge off the hop profile enough for me to complete the tasting.

Can from the local Raley's grocery. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is citrus and mango. It's juicy and moderately bitter. Flavor is like the aroma. Flavor is decent.
