From a pint can. Pours a Murky tan with an off white head.
Aromas are of strawberries and toffee. Flavors are moderately sweet with some bitter citrus.

Ridiculously hazy pink, orange and copper-tinted body with a very funky one centimetre tall tan head that fades very quickly and leaves only large bubbles on top. Aroma of strawberries, guava, deep papaya, alcohol, astringent grain, slightly soured yeast, lactose, flowers and deep malts - pretty much all over the place, but strong. Full-bodied; Deep raspberry, strawberry and especially lactose notes all dominate at first with a grainy and astringent malt bite with some of the soured lactobilly funk that plays through, while also leaving a deep fruity (especially tropical fruits) pungency towards the end. Aftertaste has the strong grainy, yeast and especially fruity (raspberries, strawberries and papaya) with some light medicinal and malt flavours towards the finish, and while the alcohol is hidden relatively well, it's still there, just definitely not showing at 8 plus per cent. Overall, a very funky beer that shows fruits, lactose, lactobilly funk, pungent grainy malts and light astringency - in that order, all strong, but read that never did I say 'hops' or bitterness in this entire review at all - this is definitely not related in any way to ANY style of an IPA. period. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 28-August-2020 for US$5,66 sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-September-2020.
