Can. Cloudy orange with a lovely white head. Aroma of mangos, pineapples, lemons, pine and booze. Taste of lemons, oranges, grapefruits, pine, mangos, wheat, marmelade and malts. Juicy and a little bit weet but ending with a rather strong bitterness for such a hazy one. Medium to strong carbonation. Full mouthfeel. Balanced and nice. At five months old I wonder how much cryo freshness there is to detect but as it‘s always the case with Sierra Nevada this beer holds up so well for its age.

Old as fuck can. Sierra Nevada online shop. Opened it as first bev of the evening not realising it’s 7.5. Anyway. Hazed glowing golf. Super firm sticky lasting white foam. Looks boss. Bit of orange sorbet and vanilla ice cream on the nose. Rindy pithy citrus. Clean malts. Taste gives away the May canning date a tad, oddly. Feels a bit fusty. Goes down easy enough overall mind you and has a nice punchy bitterness to finish. I bet this is great fresh!

Earthy horseblanket, pine, grapefruit peel, orange, and biscuit malt aroma. Hazy golden yellow with large white head. Mildly sweet orange, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter dry grass and orange peel flavor. Good body.

Can from HoTM (or perhaps Raynville) it pours lightly hazy pale orange with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, sweetish, juicy, sugary , tropical fruit punk, fanta, passion fruit and pic n mix. The taste has a crispness and crunchyness upfront, smooth, juicy, bright, tropical fruit vibes, mango, peach, papaya, passion fruit, floury bread, splash of fanta, floury bread, touch of sugar and limited alcohol presence. Perhaps sits a touch sweet overall. Fruity, easy going stuff, but forgettable.

Mango and passion fruit. Light though. Ok for a west coast hazy, but wouldn't get too excited. Slightly hazy golden pour with pretty good head and lacing. Fairly clean finish. Can.
