Very hazy, but quite light golden and straw coloured body with a nice, smooth two centimetre tall just off-white head on top that stays afloat nicely, above the 60 per cent opaque body. Aroma of crisp, funky, slightly tart mango and orangey notes with some pineapple here it seems and a t ouch of the lactobilly funk from the yeast, but all very light. Light-bodied; Sweet, fruit juicy flavours show at first with a big kick of fresh pineapple juice, mangoes, pear juice and a dash of oranges here with a soft tart finish and no alcohol warmth here at all. Aftertaste is clean and very fruity, with some light bready and yeast notes here with a layer of both wheat and sweetness, but this is all about the fresh fruits. Overall, a very nicely executed beer that is somehow both super easy-drinking AND complex/flavourful with dry and tropical notes starting it all and some complex yeast and sugars on the end - very nice throughout and well-recommended to cart across the whole country like I did - if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Fort Collins, Colorado on 31-January-2022 for US$1,92, with a 'best by' date of 16-December-2021?!? and sampled at my house here in Washington on 23-May-2022.

Tap (flight) at FoCo brewpub. Nice flavor - pretty solid but simple - decent
