16 oz can from Hardywood West Park, 11/3/24. Unclear orange color. Fruity, with lots of tropical flavors. Just a little sweet. Minimally tart. Tasty.

Odd copper and bronze coloured body with an orange and pink tint and a dense, thick, four to five centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of soured and tart fruit with a large floral and grassy note soon after the fruit fades, with a touch of yeast noticeable as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong tart and floral flavour at first with some guava, oranges, raspberries and pineapple noticeable along with a fairly well supportive, but mild malt profile, all ending with some sugars, fructose and a herbal finish - all with good flavours and a smooth complexity. Aftertaste is clean with the sour and tart flavours dominating in a good way - showing the tropical fruits and a dash of finishing sweetness with a grassy and herbal complexity that is more dry than tart. Overall, a nice and light beer with good fruit flavours with a solid tart profile, but easy-drinking finish and a smooth complexity make this nice throughout. Very nice to sample and recommended, especially if you want a fruit, mild ale. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Crystal City Wine Shop in Arlington, Virginia on 18-October-2019 for US$3,59 sampled at home in Washington on 25-November-2019.

16oz can, purchased from Dominion Wine and Beer. Poured a kind of cloudy, grey-purple color with virtually no head whatsoever. Aroma was pineapple juice, fruity notes, lots of acid tartness. Has kind of a rose water character to it. Aroma has some hints of buttercream frosting. Pineapple juice. Just a touch too acidic.

Tastes like they had a sour ale and added in some flowers in it. Smells a bit like buttercream frosting. Pineapple juice. Just a touch harsh
