Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Dusty grape and tropical fruit aromas. Dry with mango and papaya upfront turning to hot bitter pith that turns cloying in the lasting finish.

Can dated 08/31/16.
I poured mine into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy milky yellow color with a quickly dissipating finger’s worth of white foamy head. Mild rings of lace form around the glass.
The aroma starts off with thick sweet red onion. Super strong, in fact, so strong, it’s hard to even think it’s the hops. It’s almost as if they just dumped red onion in the beer. Luckily, I like red onion, but I can see people drinking this after me probably going to knock it. Light citrus and sweet grassiness enters in adequately.
The flavor displays a decent sweetness through the onion, not danky onion, just really tastes like it’s straight up onion. Sweet red onion aftertaste strutting it’s stuff right on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a decently felt alcohol burn chopping on my tongue. I don’t mind for me, but, well, you know, just saying it’s there.
Overall, so, I’m not sure if the age did this to the beer. It’s quite interesting even if Mayflower intended for this to happen. I think I could have again, preferably fresh.

Pours an opaque gold from a can, lots of small floaties. Light cucumber and orange aroma, similar flavor, fair amount of syrupy sweetness. Good beer.
