Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 12, 2020. Aroma is hop forward with quite a bit of fruity esters as well. Lots of passion fruit, mango, melon and over ripe stone fruit. Light cracker malt notes. Hints of alcohol. Pours a hazy, dull, murky, brownish straw color with a large, thick, frothy, white head that recedes to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet and a bit watery with light cracker malt notes. Medium light bitterness and hints of alcohol. Loads of over ripe stone fruit esters. Lighter hop notes of passion fruit, mango and tropical citrus. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied and a bit watery with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent hazy pale ale with loads of fruity esters and lighter complimentary hop notes. Lighter hop and malt notes.
