16 oz. can. Aroma has a bold floral character. Just florals. In the flavor if I really search, I can find lemon outside of all the floral character. I’m not completely convinced the African Queen can’t stand by itself without supporting hops. This is just a huge floral bouquet.

Hazed up. Fruity, pear, mellow citrus and kind of woody. Full body, ok malt character, medium bitterness, light grapefruit. It'�s not bad, but no individual element shines enough to carry this.

Canned 7/13/23, drunk 8/26/23. Heavily hazy, golden-brass-maize. Large, off-white head, good retention. Very light, bright, aromatic nose full of easygoing citrus and light floral notes. Tangerine, meyer lemon and light spiciness with cracker and light honey-like maltiness easily balancing. No aggressive character, clean yeast, no alcohol. Light, fluffy, good malt depth and good attenuation, though tending a touch sweeter due to low bitterness. Floral and light citrus notes dominate the hop profile, though there's nothing heavy/aggressive about the citrus. Just a bit too low bitterness for me, overall. I'm really getting tired of the super low bitterness IPAs unless they're bone dry, which this is not.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy, glowing straw gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Lots of tropical fruit on the nose - mango, pineapple and lychee aromas. Palate is similar, nice carbonation and a drying finish.
