Transferring review from paper from sometime over the past 8 months. Pint can. Pours orange with a cream-colored head. Nose is black tea, apricot, pine. Flavor is APRICOT, black tea, light pine, light juiciness. Nice.

Peach, maraschino cherries aroma. Clear amber, medium head. Peach, grass. Medium body, easy carbonation. A bit of saccharine sweetness ruins it for me, but I suppose it's necessary to bring out the peach character.

16 oz can. Poured a clear yellow-orange color with a small, off-white head. Aroma was pineapple, lots of peach. Initial aroma was a bit off-putting when the can first opened, not sure why. The aroma improved greatly after that first hit. Flavor was a pleasant blast of peach, pineapple, grapefruit. Leafy hop?
