(473ml can from the brewpub) Very hazy orange-gold pour with a thick eggshell cap that fades slowly leaving lace. Aroma is very ripe and juicy tropical/floral in quality, intense Strata melons but not over-soapy for once, creamy tropicals like guava, undertones of orange oil and grapefruit peel, a little dank, bready sweet malts. Flavour is semi-sweet up front, tangerine and navel orange peel, a little lemon, citrus pith, pale melon, crushed flowers, a little bitter citrus, softly bready malt, a little honey, finish is quite dry and a bit astringent, unfortunately the soapy florals of Strata are a bit too heavy as is often the case, orange peel is pretty prominent as well, a little edge of oniony heat despite being >1mo, alcohol warmth, some earthy pine, long aftertaste. Medium-bodied, oily to creamy, soft carbonation. All things considered this is very good, I don't love Strata much of the time but this keeps most of its worst tendencies largely in check save the finish.
