Undated can drunk 9/28/25.
Turbid, milky, with some deeper bronze. Big, frothy, white head.
Subdued with earth, chalk, mild spice, unripe stone fruit and tropical fruit rind. Biscuity, crackery, sparse malts. Clean, though, with no twang or alcohol noted.
Kind of starting to hate Peacharine and Nectaron, not that I ever liked them to begin with. So much pineapple and peach character that seems borderline twangy. Malts are soft, at least, though a bit timid, with a shorter finish than a DIPA should have. Papaya, stone fruit, mango and orange juice lingering. Need to try a fresh, date-coded can, though I don't think the age is the issue here.

Can from Steve. Opaque orange juice w/a few dark floaties, tons of sparkle, thin head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong passion fruit, apricot and citrus. Taste is strong nonspecific fruit with notes of berry and melon. Silky smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, slight alcohol astringency.

16 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Murky yellow gold pour. Dense, tight white head. Spotty lacing. Fragrant tropical fruit aroma hints at melon, apricot and tangerine. Flavor is more citrus and stone fruit. Notes of sweet grapefruit, pineapple, apricot and mango. Some warming alcohol and dank citrus on backend. Quite tasty.

Draught @ City Beer, Manhattan. Extremely hazy dark yellow, like orange juice, with a large foamy off-white head, faint citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter citrus-mango taste, thin body, long finish. Good NEIPA.
