12 oz. can sent by CLB as a preview. Pours a suitably hazy beer, almost a whitish yellow, or close to a pineapple juice glass. Nice thick and fizzy head on top. I get a lot of stone and tropical fruit on the nose. Taste carries on the the exotic fruits, but there is still some nice bitterness at the tip of my tongue. And then there's still some pine needle and resin, and then a note of vanilla. I expect a bit of warmth from alcohol, and there it is. I usually go for thick and chewy stouts on a cold winter night, but big hazy IPAs can do the trick, too.
