Can. Cloudy Dark yellow Sporting a decent white head. Aroma of resin, pine, stone fruits (peaches) and oranges. Taste of resin, malts, pine, oranges, lemons and zest. Moderate to strong bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. As someone who favors classic West Coast IPAs this is the kind of Hazy I can get behind. Listen to the older kids: Rad stays rad.

Can at Goblet ZG for the closing party. Last new tick I bought at the OG Stupnička location, and potentially my last tick there overall (my last beer at the location was C4, ofc). Hazy golden body, off-white head. Dried peach and resin in the aroma. Smooth, oxidized aroma, dried peach, light floral notes, sweetish and bitterish. BIt gone I'm afraid. Like Goblet's Stupnička location, hahah.

Can from Raynville Superstore. Ur pours hazy golden - pale orange with a decent white head. The aroma is sticky, juicy, tropical fruit vibes, fruit punch, tangy citrus, touch of marmalade, touch green and piney. The taste is upfront dry, pleasing snap of bitterness, green, piney, pithy, zesty, bitter orange peel, grapefruit, pomelo, pithy, slightly soapy, peppery spice, nip of booze, biscuit, lightly toasted grain and bread with a lingering bitter pine and citrus finale. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent hit of bitterness to it. Good.

12 ounce can purchased from Raynville Superstore and drunk at home. Bright orange gold and hazy with a large tight off-white head. Aroma of pine, a little bit of tropical fruit. Nice bitter taste, kumquat and bitter orange, some papaya. Long finish with a bit of creaminess. Full body with carbonation held back a bit. Decent, not amazing but decent.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with a which off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange, peach and grapefruit. Flavour of candied orange, white sugar and orange barley. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. This is good but a touch too tangy/sweet.
