Ultra hazy, super chunky straw yellow coloured body with an orange glow, all with a nice three centimetre tall tan head that stays afloat nicely over the 99 per cent opaque body that almost looks like soup more than a liquid. Aroma of oranges, mangoes, papaya, melons, a ton of rich oaty and wheatie malts with a good deal of syrup and sugar on the finish. Full-bodied; Syrupy and rich, orange and wheatie notes show at first wiht a resinous bite, but the melon and especially mango pungency comes through right away with a ton of creaminess, lactose and vanilla notes, with some additional icing sugar notes at the end to add to the richness and sweetness. Aftertaste is pungent, with fruits, alcohol, syrupy and sticky sweetness and strongest - oat malts - this is thick and pungent, but showing closer to 8 or 8,5 per cent ABV. Overall, a very sweet, deep and malty, rich beer with nice fruit notes, a ton of cream and lactose and a nice complexity throughout - but pretty cloying from the sugars. Nice to try and deep, but good overall for the style - congrats to Argentina for the 2022 World Cup Win (over France) and a great game for Neutrals like myself! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from The Perfect Pour in Elkridge, Maryland on 25-October-2022 for US$7,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 18-December-2022.

Can pour. It's an opaque dark yellow-light brown with trace sparkle, 3-finger width white foamy head with excellent retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is moderately strong tangerine, fruit and late musky herbal. Taste is strong musky herbal over nondescript fruit and malt backbone. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with slightest hint of alcohol warmth. Overall, not sure which hop is contributing the herbal--Lotus? because none of the other three should--but that quality isn't great to dominate. Even so, neither of these guys seems capable of crafting a bad beer.
