16 ounce can from brewery, courtesy of Matt S. Murky yellow gold pour is topped by a huge puffy white head. Fragrant tropical citrus aroma fills the room. Flavor is sharp, tropical fruits. Tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, white wine, dried apricots and more. Juicy, but with a boozy undertone. Lovely

Draft at the brewery (2026 variant), 6/13/26. Fully heavy yellowish color, white head, strong lacework. Juicy, tropical, and somewhat resiny. Peach, papaya, grapefruit, pineapple. Apricot, some orange juice. Somewhat sweet, balancing bitterness. Packed with flavor. Very good.

Pours a hazy, orange-pineapple, with mid-sized head. Aroma is very dank, with tropical fruit (almost a rotting tropical fruit vibe) and citrus. Flavors follow, with a light underlying sweetness and astringent finish. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate levels of hop bitterness in the finish.

Draft at Paragon, 12/11/25. Pours orange with a thin head and some lighter lace. Peach, papaya, orange juice, apricot. Fairly sweet. Juicy. Very smooth. Highly drinkable. Not cloying despite the sweetness. Good stuff.

Tropical fruit salad. A little zippy. Ace.

4 oz draft. Aroma is bold citrus with a mild white grape. Flavors just awesome. Grapefruit, lemon with a splash of white grape in the finish. Alcohol is VERY well hidden.
