Can at home. It pours a lightly hazed pale orange/yellow color with a white head. The aroma has huge guava, mango and pineapple. Hints of white grape. Super fruity. The flavor has juicy peach, pineapple and guava. Sweet tropical fruit. It has a full juicy body, but not really any detectable maltiness. A little more white grape in the finish. Touch of spicy hops with low bitterness in the finish. There’s some subtle yeast related spice in the background that I’m assuming comes from the Sacc Trois, but it doesn’t detract from the oily, juiciness of this beer. I really dig this one.

Pint can. The beer is a medium-light gold color. Somewhat murky. Decent looking white head, some lacing. The aroma has big citrus hops, pineapple and coconut. It comes together in a bit of an odd package. I think the Citra is just a bit heavy for the sweet fruity flavors. It’s a danker grapefruit-tangeriney note that offsets things a bit oddly. Still, very tropical and nice. It just could use some juicier hop action. The coconut and pineapple are stronger in the taste, which is an improvement. Big sweet and tropical action. Relatively clean, dry finish. No booziness or anything. Very beachy beer. Light-ish body, at least for the abv. A little bit of oiliness. My first beer from New Glory, and I like it. It’s fun and interesting.
