Ridiculously hazy, almost chunky, with a very large four to five centimetre tall, very-large-bubbled yellow and tan head that fades very quickly. Aroma of citrus, grass, flowers, oranges and a touch of fake sugars - very funky in the nose. Medium-bodied; Deep, highly tart and citrusey flavours dominate with blood oranges, grapefruit, flowers and astringent alcohol with a lot of medicinal, funky, herbal and very odd flavours at the end that do show a bit of tropical and fruity flavours as well. Aftertaste shows the alcohol, funk, fruits and especially the dry grassy and very citrusey flavours with some light alpha acids, a good deal of tropical fruits and way more super funky notes from fake sugars and astringency. Overall, a very odd beer that has way too many off-flavours and super fake notes that gives this a horrible artificial note. Not recommended, obviously and not worth trying to find, no matter how many Gun Hill beers you've previously enjoyed! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 06-January-2020 for US$4,29 sampled at home in Washington on 06-April-2020.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a murky apricot color with a medium sized foamy orange white head. The aroma was semi sweet and citric. The flavor was bitter, citric and had a faint tropical fruit note. Long finish. Medium body.
