Can from Julio's Liquors. Opaque orange juice with nice sparkle, some really nasty large trub chunks, decent head with excellent retention and light lacing. Aroma is pineapple, papaya and a very vague holiday spice/cinnamon. Taste is mellow stone fruit, cantaloupe, soft bread, late tangerine. Smooth, creamy, frothy texture, soft carbonation and crisp, dry finish as taste. Once the initial horror show of trub calms down, this looks nice and aroma and taste are pleasant but neither strong nor with clear identity.

Pours hazy orange into a tulip. White head with good retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Pineapple and melon aromas. Soft with sweet lychee, papaya and bread upfront turning to dusty melon rind in the medium length finish.

8 oz. Aroma shows me bold pineapple and mango. The fruits are just as bold in this one as the Heart Trail. Pineapple and papaya-ish for sure. It does end with a slight malty sweetness. Nicely constructed .
