Sample, thanks fonefan! Hazy golden, rich head. Intense aroma of nectarine, graped and papaya. Sweet with medium to full body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity with grapes and papaya, nectarine and grass, slight syrup. Lightly peppery finish with low bitterness.

Pours murky pear into a tulip. Bright white head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Mango and passion fruit aromas. Thick with soft hot caramel, mango and passion fruit upfront turning to honey and earthy pith in the medium length finish.

Undated can drunk 5/4/23. Moderately hazy, brass-blonde-maize. Small, white head. Holy bubblegum, batman! is there anything other than fruity, bubblegummy yeast here?? I guess some juicy, citrusy citra, and thankfully not oniony mosaic. As usual with Modestman, it's clean, super malty, and in this case, not too much so, with lightly spicy mosaic, plentiful mango and orange juice from the citra and i guess enough bitterness, light pine and such, from the simcoe. It works out and is malty, rich, deep and flavorful. Yeah, this is shockingly delicious, despite the bubblegummy nose, with no sign of that and just a great balance of heavy tropical fruit and moderate bitterness.

16 oz. can. Aroma is bright with citrus fruit and underlying dank tones. The flavor is much the same with a light bready malt background. A hint of black pepper. Soft, pillowy mouthfeel. Really great!
