Pop the can and a pine tree permeates the olfactory. Pour is a hazy slight orange pale. First taste is a big fat bitter green pine tar soaked cone. Another swig provides a hoppy rototiller plowing up my taste buds. Another big swig and I think my taste buds are gonna be ruined for an hour. Can somebody please git me a cheap crisp clean pale american lager to chase this BS with? This masterpiece is terr-terr-terribly on style. What else can be said? It feels much stronger than 6.5%, must be a mislabeled mouth coating double imperial IPA, just saying. WHEW!

12 oz. can, thanks to Tim! Pours a hazy, orange color, with a medium, foamy, off-white head. The aroma is papaya, rose water, orange juice, butterscotch, and light spruce. Sweet and sugary, with a sticky, fair bitterness. Medium body, crisp, and clingy. Reasonable and interesting, but not great.

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.
12 oz. can, 6.5% ABV, Canned on: 07/18/22
AROMA: Slightly sweet with a touch of sourness. Scents of mango and pineapple are predominantly what I get. However, there is a faint scent of coconut too.
APPEARANCE: Pours a hazy copper-orange with a very tall, white head that dissipates slowly and has moderate lacing.
TASTE: Smooth, soft, and sweet, with flavors of pineapple, pine, and a touch of coconut in the finish. The flavors are soft, and slightly muddled, with no real distinction between them. While I find the overall flavor to be quite pleasant, I would prefer it if things were a bit more distinct.
MOUTHFEEL: Full-bodied with a very soft and smooth texture. Carbonation is slightly above average. I have to say that I don't think I've ever experienced a beer that felt so soft on the palate. I would even go so far as to say that it is "pillowy" soft. Which I find to be a little disorienting, but I also kinda like it. Go figure.
OVERALL: I am somewhat perplexed by this beer, in that, I can't seem to make up my mind whether I like it or not. On the one hand it is sweet with tropical fruit flavors and a very nice mouthfeel. On the other hand, the flavors are muddled together and they seem almost too soft. In fact, it reminds me of one of those tropical fruit juice blends that only has the low-acidic fruits in them (e.g. banana, mango, passion fruit, etc.), and then a low-IBU IPA was added to it. Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Which is why I'm having a hard time deciding if I like it or not. One thing is for sure, I don't hate it. I'm just not sure if I would buy it again. Well, I have 5 more cans waiting in the fridge. Hopefully, I'll come to a conclusion before I finish the last one.
