Fairly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a straw coloured golden body and a thick, fast-dying pure white head, about two centimetres tall at start. Aroma of fresh-cut grass, hay, flowers and a dry herbal element, all with a good deal of alpha acids and bitterness. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong rich herbal and malty flavours dominate with a very pungent bitterness from the hops with a good punch of fresh-cut grasses and yeastie notes that dominate and leave everything quite bitter with some light sweetness from some of the tropical fruits, but not much - way more bitterness. Aftertaste is rich and deep, but very drying and herbal with a lot of punch and character from the malts, moreso than the hops. Overall, a nice and dry beer that shows a lot of character and is balanced well, but the tropical notes are non-existent and the sweetness is thereabouts nowhere to be found as well. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Everglades National Park, Flamingo, Florida at the Marina Store on 27-December-2020 for US$1,75 sampled in my hotel room here in Sanibel, Florida on 29-December-2020.
Light and soft, bit hazy but expect more haze and flavor. Need more hops!
