Bottle @ home. Somewhat hazy golden orange appearance with an off white head. Aroma some Brett funk, plastic, and oak but it also has a lot of resiny, dank hops. Medium light body. Moderate carbonation. Low sweetness, moderate to moderate plus bitterness. Flavor has more pine, bitter hops, some tropical fruit, cotton candy, and citrus. Finishes dry and bitter. Fine but not one of my favorites of the series.

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy vibrant orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out lovely funky notes, though not as pungent as the Galaxy version I recently had, along with some tropical fruits and citrus zest. Flavour is very sharp on the citrus zest, with medium-high barnyard funk, tons of intense dry hopping, and finishing again on a sharp citric note. A touch floral on the finish as well. A unique version to the series as they all are. Excellent.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a slight peach hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice tropical fruit note with some tart citrus, a slight funk and a bit of bitterness coming through. Flavor has a combination of tropical fruit and bitter fruit with a bit of sourness in the finish and a bit of funk.

Sample at The Source. Pours a hazy golden color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of herbal yeast, citrusy hops and doughy malt. The finish is moderately tart with a grapefruit and funky yeast aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
