Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 2, 2020. Aroma is hop forward with lots of passion fruit, mango, tangerine and grapefruit notes. Lighter dank, resin character and light alcohol spice. Medium light cracker malt notes with hints of toasted bread and caramel. Pours a slightly hazy, copper-gold with a medium large, fairly thick, fluffy, whit head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers on the edges. Medium light lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes and a bit lighter caramel and biscuit notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol spice. Moderate passion fruit and tangerine notes with lighter grapefruit, mango and tropical citrus. Light alcohol spice. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid hop profile with lots of nice passion fruit and citrus notes. Solid malt character and the alcohol is well hidden.
