16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Can date of 3/5/20. Aroma is passion fruit, peach pulp, old oranges. Texture is a bit pulpy. Thicker mouthfeel, low bitterness. Yep, peach, passion fruit, and old citrus flavors. Pretty good.

Can (20065, so 3/5/20) pour. Appearance is opaque dark orange with tons of effervescence on the sides of the glass and nice sparkle, 3-finger foamy off-white head with fair retention and mild lacing. This was all before I poured the last 10th of the can--then huge chunks of dark yeast and color turned murky, milky brown. Aroma is strong pineapple over slightly milder creamsicle orange. Taste is strong pineapple, other sweet fruit, with fainter citrus than the aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation, pleasant alcohol warmth being the only sign of alcohol and mild lingering bitterness and yeast. Last 10th of can made it look much worse but thickened it up a bit, which was welcome for the style (and making this seem much more that it really is a IIPA/NEIPA). Overall, LOVED the look until the last bit of the can, which turned it kind of grim. Aroma and taste are strong and delicious. Mouthfeel comes around. Still a good experience, especially at the outer edge of peak freshness.
