Pours a hazy, amber-peach, with minimal head. Aroma is ginger and cinnamon. Flavor follows, with some tang (almost tastes like some orange peel in there?) to it. Mouthfeel is thick and sticky. Not my thing, but part of a Christmas beer package I was gifted.

Can from my brother: pours clear gold with white head. Aroma is earthy and very dank and resinous with light citrus. Taste is moderately bitter and dry. Lingering earthy aftertaste. Nice to mix it up.

From Beer Drop, best by June 16th 2026.

It pours a clear pale gold/orange with plenty of foam, good retention and lacing.

The smell I got as soon as I pulled the tab. Big citrus aromas, mostly oranges but some light lemon. Hints of tartness? I'm not sure aboot that. Coriander is big also.

The taste is is orange citrus that leans towards the sweet side. Light lemon presence, wheat, a hint of fruity tartness. Coriander is definitely there.

Very good mouthfeel, I could drink this again but no hurry.

12 oz. can from Publix. Pours a hazy/ cloudy gold color with a thick off-white head and good retention. Light lacing. Light citrus aroma. The taste follows the nose with light citrus/orange peel notes with a rather flat, lightly boozy finish. Not enough wheat base beer to support. The 9.5% ABV is fairly well hidden. Definitely warming. More boozy as it warms. It just needs a little more body. Medium-light body. Lower than expected carbonation. Not bitter. Okay.

12 oz. can from Publix. Pours a semi-clear gold color with a small white head and fair retention at best. A few spots of lacing. Strong fruit punch aroma. Fruit punch flavor too, but not as strong as the aroma, with a long finish. Not hoppy or bitter. More of an imperial fruit beer versus an imperial IPA. And the 9.5% ABV is very well hidden. Close to being alco-pop. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Lower than expected bitterness. Dangerously chuggable.

Banana and pineapple nose. Clear orange, thin head. Orange, banana, peach. Spicy clove phenols. Medium body, easy carbonation. Good flavors that don't work so well together, kind of a mess. It's trying to do too much, but I still like it bettter than an ordinary tripel.

Can from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours clear copper with a large foamy beige head. Aroma is very ginger with some cinnamon. Arguably full bodied. Not dry. Not bitter. Just spicy. Nice thick caramel malt with lots of ginger and cinnamon. Nice!
