Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is cloudy, yellow-orange (a shade more translucent than orange juice) with nice sparkle at the edges of the glass, 2.5-finger width foamy white head with fair retention and trace lacing. Aroma is as label describes--strong citrus and dank fruit--with light pineapple and a whiff of herb. Taste is orange citrus mixed with pineapple/pineapple rind, mild bitter herb. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick, frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and lively sweet citrus kick at the finish with only the lightest bitterness for balance. Would never guess at the ABV--danger, Will Robinson! Overall, nice look, strong aroma and flavor (with flavor being the more appealing of the two) and nice mouthfeel.
