Can pour from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Opaque orange juice with light sparkle, some fairly hefty chunks of sediment in suspension, good-sized head with good retention and tons of lacing. Aroma is strong orange, florals, tropical fruit. Taste follows aroma with a substantial bready malt presence in the back half. Smooth, creamy, thick texture, soft carbonation, with mild alcohol "twang," creamsicle finish. Could have done without the sediment. Nice all around otherwise.

Undated can with a meaningless (to me) date code, from Airforcehops, drunk 2/16/25. Thanks, Chris!
Turbid milkshake-looking, pale golden with some deep brass in there. Creamy, dense/thick, off-white head, well-retained.
Bright hopping belies the massive abv. Not getting any allium, twang, burn, resin, alcohol, sugar, etc...Just some solid citrus, light tropical, light pine and good juiciness with substantial, supportive biscuit and white bread from the malt.
Juicy, bright, bitter with tropical fruit salad, heavy juice, heavy white bread and honey from the rich malts. Very good attenuation for its size, though and not syrupy. Rich and spicy finish with tons of juice and tropical fruit. No resin, chalk or alcohol (though there's a bit of alcohol warmth throughout, nothing hot). ABV seems a bit gratuitous, as this isn't really that much more flavorful than some of the better 8 to 8.5% abv DIPAs out there.

16 oz can. Aroma shows me moderate herb with soft orange. Flavor has citrus and herb with the addition of soft florals. Good array of hop flavors. The floral characteristics stack as it warms. Booze shows softly in the finish. Just ok for me.
