Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is opaque dark yellow-light brown with tons of effervescent sparkle (like alka selzer) along some edge of the glass with none elsewhere, finger-width, white, rocky foam head with excellent retention and attractive, soapy lacing. Aroma is strong tropical fruit and pineapple with more moderate apple and earthy, straw contribution. Taste is strong sweet tropical fruit with tangerine, milder backbone of bread. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not a juice bomb but strong, pleasant sweet fruit flavor with great aroma and nice look. One of my favorite Relics.

Can in a trade with tfontana. Thanks Tom. Canned 8/21/19. Aroma shows soft straw, white grape, tropical fruit. Flavor has some nice juicy fruit, straw, notes and white grape. ABV is hidden. This brew and Rain Prayer are the best I have sampled from this brewery.
