Draft. Pours black, with a small, beige head. The nose is caramelized sugar, toasted coconut, grassy rum, and chocolate. Sweet and sugary and boozy. Medium to heavy body, syrupy, and sticky. Sharp, decadent, and fun.

Tap at Hidden Craft. Pours a clear, straw color, with a small, bubbly, white head. The nose is orange peel, grassy hops, biscuity yeasty esters, and coriander. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, grassy bitterness. Light, crisp, and clean. Solid and simple.

Can from Total Wine in Vacavile, CA. Pours hazy gold with a nice white head. Aroma has mango, green melon and more. Med body. Juicy but only mildly sweet. There's enough bitterness for balance. Good flavor.

Eating tacos in Laguna Beach, California with Barbara, James and Sophie, with a pint of this, 20th February 25. Pours a hazy orange. Aroma is marmalade, orange and tropical fruits. Taste is tropical fruits, mellow, citrus and medium bitter. Nice IPA
Some tropical fruits, smooth. Taste is along the same lines, very smooth. Pleasant one.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours clear bright gold with a moderate creamy white head that didn't try to persist. Aroma is bready with a corn note. Near med body. Flavor is aroma plus some hop that's a mix of citrus, floral and something. Seems like a South lager.
