Cloudy beige blond beer, big aery yellowish head, unstable, falls down quickly, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lovely, citrus, fruity, a little dank, more marijuana when swivelling the beer around in the glass, pretty floral, soapy almost, unripe stone fruit, some diesel, dank hops. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, floral, bitter orange peel, a bit oxidized, some citrus. Aftertaste: floral, fruity, a little dank, juicy, very nice, a bit of a hop burn.

Canned 1/23/24, drunk 4/7/24. Near turbid, bronze-maize. Small, creamy head. Somewhat punchy, acidic, intensely hoppy with huge mango-lemongrass-pineapple. Sweet malts and heavily fruity yeast. Soft, sweet, tropical, citrusy. A bit punchy with a ton of acid. Biscuity malts, pretty good attenuation. Heavy pineapple acidity. Bit of chalk. It's older so I'll give it a bit of pass, though it was in the cooler. Plus, it's not for a lack of hops or bitterness. Lingering pine and pineapple.
