Just like a birthday cake, this beer has layers of velvety and fluffy flavors that build on top of each other. A triad of intense hops fuel the juicy flavor – Galaxy, Citra, and Strata. Together they blend a fruit basket of aromas and flavors such as passionfruit, citrus, strawberry, and peach. Everything is smeared on a balanced and pillowy base of malt and fermentation.

12oz can pour at the Mountain Brewers Beer Fest. Hazy golden pour, small foamy white head. Aroma is citrusy, fruity. Taste is pretty simple, citrusy notes, grapefruit, light bready flavors. About what you'd expect for a mass marketed brew.

Bought locally, canned something 21 2023. The month is not visible on any of the cans I bought.
It pours a hazy orange with a 2 finger head of foam, very good retention, good lacing.
The smell is hoppy, somewhat dank, has some melon, rather typical for the style.
The taste is grapefruit, melon, lightly dank, juicy, typical.
Good juicy mouthfeel, this may be a little long in the tooth but is okay. Not worthy of a repurchase though.

Tap at Konttori, Tampere. Hazy dark orange colour and medium-sized off-white head. Orange, fruits, a bit bready. Medium-bodied. Malty, a bit bready with some fruityness. Not the freshest and old skool vibey.

12oz can. Unfortunately, almost 3 months out from canning, which has generally really negatively affected OB hazy ventures. So it has a hint of that devolved oniony Citra tone I loathe, but other than that the hop combo is pretty nice. A little sweet, sugary. Overall pretty respectable for a sixpack level hazy.

355 ml can from Systembolaget. Cloudy golden colour with a thin white head. Fruity aroma with citrus, tropical impressions, pear, tangerine, and stone fruits. The taste is bitter. Medium to full body. Drying fruity finish. Fluffy and dank. Nice.
