Can (5/27/20) pour from Fort Point Market. Appearance is opaque dark yellow with light sparkle at the edges of the glass, several large white floaties in suspension and chunks at the bottom of the glass, 1/2-finger width white foamy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is tangerine, apricot, mild vanilla and lime. Taste is strong tangerine, apricot, hint of lime and late grains. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average carbonation and fruity finish as taste along with mild-to-moderate lingering bitterness. Overall, not getting the breadth of aromas and flavors advertised--perhaps age has muted somewhat?--but an OK beer as it is.
