Sampled at Snallygaster 2019. Poured a clear yellowish color with a very small white head. Aroma was lots of pineapple, mango. Tropical fruits. Flavor was similar, slight tartness, very easy to drink due to a lower abv. Bold.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish off-white head that starts at about three centimetres tall and fades quite quickly. Aroma of super pungent tropical fruits with the pineapple and funk showing first with a big dash of the lactose, fructose and slightly tart notes, but this really is all about the fruits, at least in the nose. Light-bodied; Strong tart and grassy note up front with some kettle soured funk going on, but then the fruits take over with a big hit of mangoes and then the pineapple and stronger sweetness comes through with a nice finish and almost mouth-watering finish that makes you want to drink more. Aftertaste is slightly dry, but very fruity with the mangoes, pineapple, lactose and very sweet notes somehow hiding the quite tart finishes. Overall, a nice and enjoyable beer with a dry, grassy start, but finishing with a ton of fruit notes, a little sour and tart flavours, but the tropical fruits and easy-drinking nature is what this is all about, in a very good way, even as it's starting to get to fall! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, given to me by the GM of the brewery after a hockey game - Thanks Erik! Sample at home in Washington on 24-October-2019 after running the USMC Marathon right here in Washington.
