16 oz can. Aroma is acidic orange juice and light melon. Flavor follows with traces of mango-ish notes. Mouthfeel and texture are smooth. Drinks nice.

Can (10/29/21) pour from Beer and Wine Nation. It's an opaque, orange-juice yellow with no sparkle, finger-plus width off-white foamy head with excellent retention and patches of soapy lacing. Aroma is strong pineapple and fruit. Taste follows aroma along with lemon-lime sherbet. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with lovely, silky smooth texture, soft carbonation, vaguest alcohol warmth and finish as taste. Overall, not the most distinct aroma and flavor but good strength and wonderful mouthfeel.

Draught @ Fool's Gold (12/9/19). Extremely hazy bright yellow with small foamy off-white head, apricot-pineapple-mango aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter apricot-mango-pineapple-citrus peel taste, somewhat thick body, long medium bitter finish. Very enjoyable DIPA.

Pours hazy mango into a shaker. Bright white soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving gloppy spider lacing. Dusty citrus aromas. Soft with sourdough and bitter orange peel upfront turning to hot apricot in the lasting finish.
