On tap at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, Netherlands. A hazy golden/orange/yellow coloured pour with a decent off white head on top. Hoppy, grapefruit, orange, passion fruit, tropical fruit taste and aroma. Good stuff as ever from Other Half.

16oz can. Poured a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was nice tropical fruits, with tropical citrus. Pleasant tropical character. Really nice stuff. Smooth, easy to drink.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy yellow pour, one finger stiff foamy head. Soft, fruity tropical aroma, mango. Taste marries tropical fruit flavors with zesty citrus and light soapy floral notes. Luscious feel with some minor mouth coating.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Aromas of crushed candy, lupulin powder, white grapefuit, lime and muscat as it warms. Palate is similar and balances notes of sweet, dank and citrus. Finishes with some mineral notes and more of the same. Enjoyable.

Reunion Grafton draught, 1/7/25.
Lightly-to-moderately hazy, paler brass-golden. Small, white head.
Fruity yeast, fruity hops, not a ton of mineral or spice, to be honest. Some white grape, lots of cracker, light pine and hints of rich white bread.
Soft but with some cracker. White grape, white berry, light sulfur. Low spice, little/no juice, little/no spice. Not a tour de force of the hop. Sweetness, white bread, whit grape...kind of the lesser desired notes with the more desired notes (big mineral, big juxtaposition of juice and spice, intense, deep tropical fruit, white wine) being pretty minimal.

Can. Pours cloudy yellow, medium white head, good lacing. Aroma is muted, a bit dank, nothing particularly happening. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, largely follows. No burnies, but not much action either. Canned 10/23, so it's not old. Medium body. This is a shame, both because I enjoy a good Nelson hopped beer, and because I bought a four pack.

Lots of onions and mangoes, slightly sweet tons of mangoes. Not very juicy but dank and nice hop character it’s good but not amazing
