Can (8/10/21) pour. It's an opaque dark yellow-light brown with trace sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong citrus and stone fruit with hint of evergreen. Taste is strong stone fruit. There's a hint of pineapple and coconut and some alcohol astringency (which, as it warms, the former increases and latter decreases). Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft-to-average carbonation, alcohol warmth and crisp finish as taste with light malt. Overall, aroma is more appealing than the taste. Weirdly thin for 10.5%. Alcohol is too noticeable. Not sure the jump from the 8.6 WITF series is a beneficial thing.
