Pours hazy orange with a thin white head. Immediate aroma of guava and oranges. Taste has soft tropical notes, simcoe and citrus hops, soft melon notes on the tongue. Palate has light pine elements on the nose. Good.

Can (2/19/20) pour. Appearance is opaque orange-tinged yellow with excellent sparkle at the edges of the glass, 2-finger white foamy head with good retention and fair soapy lacing. Aroma is, upon initial opening, moderately strong lemony citrus and nondescript sweet fruit--apple? melon? grape? berry?; strength moderates a bit as it warms and late yeast and bread qualities. Taste follows aroma but fruit precedes the citrus hit and a bit stronger. Maybe a hint of herb late as it warms. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, fairly thick texture, lively carbonation, decent alcohol warmth in the esophagus, late acidic kick, and dry, lightly bitter finish. Overall, the elements are all here for the style but aroma could be a bit stronger and both would benefit from the flavor being a bit more identifiable.

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana, thanks Tom for the opportunity! Canned 02/19/20. Aroma has boulder citrus and mild grass. The flavor carries over bolder citrus and a soft malt base. The finish is a slightly astringent Simcoe pine like hop. The pine gets more harsh as it warms. Eh...
