Super hazy orange coloured obyd with a very thin, single centimetre tall tan head that just leaves a small layer on top after a few seconds. Aroma of dank, dare I say, skunky hops with some pepper and deep floral notes, some noticeable malt and hop bitterness too, but seemingly fairly dry. Light to Medium-bodied; Crisp, floral and grassy profile at first with a soft orange and perfumey bite, but not much malt to speak of, nor any real complexities here, this is fairly straight-forward and pretty easy-drinking. Aftertaste has a very small amount of sweetness with the citrus fruits the strongest factor, but a fairly crisp and underwhelming malt bite and some light grassy notes are the only real flavours here - this is pretty mild, understated, plain and not-bitter. Overall, a decent beer at best, with some sweetness, fruit elements and light dryness at play, but that's about it and this one doesn't show much else or any deeper characteristics - not really worth trying to find this one and if you already have it - drink it now to get some flavour, at least. Somehow, this was still nice to try this one locally given that i've never seen this or any of this series! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Ye Old Spirit Shop in Frederick, Maryland on 29-November-2020 for US$5,39 while cutting down our family Christmas tree for the year, canned at the source on 18-June-2020, sampled at my house here in Washington on 23-January-2021.

BrewverAn actual clean larger. Lots hoppiness throughout with a light bitter end with a moderate carbonation felt but easy body. Fills the cheeks. The hops are moderately generic American hops.

Draught @ Brass Tap - Fitzgerald. Opaque dark brown with large foamy tan head, faint mocha aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter mocha taste with alcohol undertones, somewhat thick body, long mocha finish with alcohol bite at the end. Nice but a bit too boozy.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a murky vibrant orange - a lot like mango juice - with a small foamy white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was tart with vague tropical fruits. The flavor was bitter with lemon, mango and pineapple. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.
