Part of an excellent mixed 12 pack I got super fresh in San Jose on a work trip. Packaged 4.05.25, sipped in the hotel originally the first week June.

Last straggler gets a pint glass at home.
Big foam, pale-medium gold, very slight haze, sticky.
Strong note of sweet pineapple & papaya on the nose. Sweet, unfermented fruit juice.
Onion-apple forward, sweet & lingering papaya, light cream, mellow herbal hops. Kinda trashy now but it was hoppier & more malt forward when fresh. At least it's not all that sweet.

Fruit juice.

12Oz can from Ben’s Cafe, Cheras, Malaysia. Poured a hazy light golden orange colour with a thin white head. The aroma is grainy malt, tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet with a light, crisp, fresh, juicy citrus, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Hazy pale from a can. Nose is sorta sweet perfumy hops. First taste is a weird fruity thing followed by a big hop bitter blast. Now my taste buds are ruined for a while. Second big swig is the same, but now my buds are genuflecting and kneeling before the hops idol. Whew, quite a nasty brew for a cheap pale lager lover as myself. OK, now that I'm in the middle of this session, let me see if my flavor detecting devices have anything left to detect. Well, now I see its getting quite medicinal. Let me think, as a child did I take some kind of medicine from bottle that makes me reminisce while drinking this so called tropical bitter juice?? Yea, when I think tropical flavors, I never imagined this, whew. Finishes as it started, clear down to the last drop this mouth coating SOB just wants to be a terribly on style egotistic haughty conceited IPA bastard. Well, at least I'm getting a little alky activity in my happy receptors, thereby increasing dopamine release in the NAc. This brew seems to be modifying the function of my dopaminergic neurons more directly by entering the brain. Finally, at least its worth something.

355ml can from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours loaded gold, transparent, with fine white foam. Aroma is intensely citrus and resinous, a hint of tropical as well. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is medium bitter, rather enjoyable. Final is still rather aromatic.

On tap at Portland Craft, pours a mostly clear golden with a small white head. Nose brings out big piney hops, some citrus zest, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp, with some pine, citrus zest, and crisp biscuity malt. Not the most vibrant hopping but the beer structure is good and well-hopped. Good.

From Liquor Shed in Casper, packaged June 13th 2023.

It pours a lightly hazy pale gold with a healthy head of foam, excellent lacing.

It smells of tropical fruit, mango pineapple, plenty of citrus, cracker malt.

The taste is mango, pineapple, citrus, more tropical fruit, cracker malt. Kind of a lower bitterness.

Smooth mouthfeel, this is a tasty one.

Can. Pours a clear golden hue with a medium white head. A nice soft perfume and citrus nose. Roch fruity hops, certainly tropical, some toast, mild bitterness. Smooth. Solid.
