From Good Times Oakland, canned May 18th 2026.

Pours a hazy light orange with a finger of foam, retention is excellent, lacing is good.

Smell is hoppy, fruity in a tropical way, definitely has some sweet notes besides the hop bitterness.

The taste is tropical fruit, orange zest, very light dank notes, orange zest, semi sweet malt.

Medium bodied, this is good but not something I need to drink again.

First review. At the Sunnyvale brewery. Slushy orange yellow with vibrant, but small, white head dusting over the top. Overt orange and moderate pineapple. Same flavor with slight dank. Solid.

16 oz can purchased at Monument Wines and Spirits in Concord, California. The pour is a clear copper brown with a foamy light tan one inch head. The aroma is nutty malt, soft toffee, and a touch of grass. The taste is the nutty malt, a bit of apple fruit, muted malt toffee sweetness, and finishes with more of the nut. The palate is medium to light bodied with decent carbonation and a clean malt sweet and nut finish. Solid.

Great cause and great afternoon out on the deck while at the Sunnyvale location with the family. Interesting beer and maybe not what I was in the mood for on this afternoon.
