Cloudy, golden color and a nice white head. Nose of overripe tropical fruits, hoppy-fruity. Taste Starts with a nice hoppy-fruity was, smooth mouthfeeling, Juicy. Mando and pineapple, bitter-sweet hoppy Finish. Nice stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Mind Haze Brain Melter on 12 Sep 2024 at 23:02 - Score: 8.

Can, from Whole Foods, Manhattan. Pours hazy dull lemon yellow with largish foamy off-white head, lemon zest aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus zest-pineapple taste, faint alcohol bite, thin body, long citrusy finish. Smooth and well-balanced.

12oz can from Matt. Hazy golden pour with a one finger fluffy white head. Sweet, fruity aroma, more candy than natural. Taste is a little tropical before some stinging hoppiness arrives. More overripe fruit than dank. Didn't love it, didn't hate it.

12 oz can from the Total Wine in Cedar Park, TX. Using a tulip glass this evening for the sampling, I pull the tab and pour. I see the expected yellow-orange body with a slender skim of snow white foam. The nose is yellow fruit and mango. The drink follows the style mostly, I get grapefruit, melon, a bit of pine, a touch of apricots from somewhere and juice. Certainly more bitter than the usual but I get nothing extraordinary. A tasty beer in any case.

Pounder can from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours hazy gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma really does have citrus and peach. Med body. Smooth and creamy. Flavor is tropical with peach, melon, citrus and arguably more. Juicy but not excessively sweet. Moderate bitterness. Extremely nice, mellow flavor.
