Can from Liquor Junction, Reading. Deeply hazy, bright yellow with light sparkle, thin head with poor retention, trace lacing. Aroma is strong mango, orange, papaya. Taste is mango, strong citrus astringency, papaya, late bread crust. Citrus astringency, lively carbonation, frothy texture, dry, lingering bitterness. Good strength of aroma and flavor but citrus astringency becomes an overwhelming presence. Overall, OK.

16 oz can. Aroma is mango, papaya, house yeast. Flavor shows a tropical fruit with a mild floral bouquet. Good balance of fruit and floral, thankfully. Malt is bread like in character with a bone dry texture. I feel like this affair a little bit better on draft but I got tired of waiting to try it. I like it.

Pours a hazy, peach tea color, with smallish head. Aroma is citrus, some tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with some yeasty spice. Mouthfeel seems a bit thin. Mild hop bitterness through the finish.

Brewery draught, 9/19/24. Moderately hazy, sunny orange. Small, creamy, white head. Juicy, earthy, fruity, fresh yeast, no punch, lots of citrus. Similar flavors. Very, very dry, tons of cracker, some saccharine notes. White bread, smartees. Not the texture I want. Reminds of Trillium's recent crap. Why so thin??

Tall can from Cloudwater Bermondsey Taproom. Drunk at the Tower Hotel. Hazed gold, large white head. Floral nose, gentle exotics. Fluffy smooth mouthfeel, light balanced hop fruitiness, great drinkability. Nice end to the night.

Pint at the brewery, pours a hazy pale lemon with some lacey white head. Nose is zippy, grassy, dank, perfume too, grist. Flavors follow. Soapy. Dry and zippy finish. Lots happening for 5.5%. 7 3 7 5 14
