16oz can. Shared by nimbleprop. Thanks! Poured a very hazy yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was light orange, citrus zest. Flavor was very creamy. Super smooth. Rich and creamy. Great citrus.

Orange tan with a medium sized white head that left good lacing. Tangy and sweet with fruity hops and a boozy undertone. Long finish. Moderately full bodied and smooth. Quite pleasant

16oz can pours a murky sunset orange with a cap of white head. Nose has grass and herbs, light tropicals, little dried mango, orange. Flavors mostly the same. Felt like the Vic Secret got muddled. This can might have fallen off a cliff.

Looks like pulp. 16oz can is a murky yellow with some creamy white head. Nose has dried grasses, bright orange and perfume, sweet herbs. Flavor has some wheat but also oat, malt, orange, a little yellow cake. Pillowy finish, off dry.

16oz can of pulp. Thick white head. Nose is sweet citrus, saccharine, big tropicals, papaya. Flavor is the same. Orange and papaya and lychee and guava, all with an oat background. Full, fruity, off dry finish. Just OK. A little sugary.
