Canned 6/8/21, drunk 7/12/21. Purchased from the cooler.
Not gonna lie, I thought this was brewed at Stoneface and wouldn't have bought it otherwise. It's a super-turbid maize with a small, white head that never completely goes away.
For over a month old, this is a nice aroma. Mild, surprisingly, and without any alcohol. No twang either, wow! Mango-guava-papaya sort of thing with very light bubblegum and moderate honey-like malts. A bit of watermelon and candy on the finish. Really surprised how masked the abv is. I let it warm considerably, too.
Juicy, of course, and moderately sweet, with good attenuation and not too much bubble gum. Pineapple-mango-papaya, but you just can't conceal this much alcohol and it cuts the finish apart with a burning character and exposes lots of acidity and loosens the texture. I just don't get why everyone has to make a frickin' TIPA. So rarely good. Trillium has had success and their mouthfeel/texture is just massively malty. I think it basically has to be. This one is quite good, for sure, for the style. But still just gets messy and boozy on the end, as most do.

can from the Packie Hazy lemon yellow with a huge frothy white head that shows great retention. Fruity tropical and citrus with bits of sweet bread earth pine and a light warming alcohol. Pretty tasty.
