Pretty hazy golden and light peach coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely above the 80 per cent opaque body. Aroma of bright tropical fruits with some mangoes and papaya along with the more traditional orange and citrus, finishing with some light bitterness in the nose from the alpha acids of the hops, but the wheat malts are soft in the nose as well. Medium-bodied; Relatively rich wheatie and orangey flavours dominate here with a good tropically flavour from the papaya and even guava notes, but a clean finish of hops and soft bitterness make this nice, especially at the end. Aftertaste shows some alpha acid bitterness and a good fresh orange and mango flavour that makes this smooth and quite easy-drinking, but still full-of-flavour. Overall, a nice newer school IPA that has a lot of clean fruits, but also showing some slight bitterness to go with the smooth wheat malts - very nice to have, especially on draught and local here!Β I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at Ford's Garage in Orlando, Florida on 29-December-2022 for US$7,00 with my wife and three kids while away on vacation.Β

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a white head and fair retention. Zero lacing. Very faint citrus aroma. Light, but natural tasting citrus flavor in a standard wheat ale base beer. A little understated, but smooth and clean. Not too sweet. Not bitter. Medium-light body. Good carbonation. Decent, but I've had better.

12 oz can from Total Wine. Pours a crystal clear bronze color with a khaki head and very good retention. Spotty lacing. Light caramel malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Light caramel malt flavor and a smooth, clean finish. Almost no bitterness. Medium body and good carbonation. Not quite as malty as many Oktoberfest beers, but still very good and repeatable. Love the name/can art too.

16oz can from Total Wine - Boyton Beach. Poured a clear light orange color with a small, soapy white head. Aroma was big watermelon and lime. Light ocean breeze salt. It came across a touch soapy. Okay.

Can from total wine. Nice flowery smell on an otherwise pale beer with a nice head. Taste starts off with good carbonation. Then there is this floral attribute about it. Yes, a flowery beer, on the buds as well as the taste. Interesting yet not overpowering. Not bad, but the flowery thing seems to take prominence. In the middle I got this crayon thing going on in there. Never in yer face and it seems to be quite satisfying, just not sure if I dig the overall effects of the hibiscus. Not bad.
