Undated can drunk 1/28/23. Heavily hazy, bronze-golden. Small, white head, low retention. Juicy, tropical, dense and subtle with lots of jam-packed mineral and passion fruit. Slow to emerge grape character with tangerine and such. Spicy coconut lingering with white bread and cracker-like malts and no alcohol or resin. Dense, subtle, tight flavors are slow to yield with round, lightly acidic grape character, rich, dry mineral and just a ton of coconut-like character. I would have guessed one of the recent HBC hops and am shocked to see this is Riwaka and cascade (the Nelson and citra make sense). Not sure where this spicy, dry coconut is coming from, but it's prevalent. Juicy, white wine-rich and good minerality otherwise, but a bit more of this coconut spice character than I'd prefer.

Pours hazy mango into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving scant lacing. Mango, papaya and tangerine aromas. Soft with hot tangerine and overripe melon front to back. Lasting dusty juicy fruit and berry starburst finish.
