Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5
Hazy, pale. Not much head. The aroma has some oxidation but also lots of stone fruit. Fairly bitter, decent pale malt, quite a bit of sweetness. Bitter. grapefruit and a touch of mint in the finish. And this has peach, plum that sort of thing. I feel like it's a couple points lower than when it first came out, but not that much.

Canned Oct 31, 2024. 355mL can, pours a hazy dull golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is juicy and tropical, with plenty of tropical fruits and citrus hops. Flavour is very bitter, with lots of bitter citrus peel, oxidation, and some gentle tropical fruitiness. Definitely too old, but the hops are just hanging on. Pleasant enough.
