Aroma is floral, bready, peppery. Taste has a mild to moderate herbal bitterness backed by light bready malt sweetness.

Imperial pint can, pkd 12/24. Moderately hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma of mango, pineapple, mandarin, bread, pine. Softish texture with sweet tropical notes. But the pine and somewhat twiggy bitterness doesn't really suit. But it's OK.

Can from Jim - cheers! Gold with a very light haze, a white head and a middling fizz. Lemon up front, a touch of pine in the mildly bitter finish. Crisp and clean but pretty meh.

Can from a mix pack from Sprouts in Woodland, CA. Pours hazy gold with a foamy white head. Aroma of mango and perhaps citrus. Med body or nearly. Tropical, juicy, but not very sweet. Bitter enough for balance. Flavor is mango, passion fruit, melon and citrus. Decent, but the flavor could be stronger.

Can from Sprouts in Woodland, CA. Pours hazy gold with a large creamy white head. Aroma has lots of citrus - even grapefruit rind notes. Med body. Flavor has a hint of something like oats/spelt. Otherwise mostly citrus for me. Pleasing flavor.
