Ridiculously hazy and chunky peach, guava and pure orange coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall, fairly soapy tan head that covers the ninety per cent opaque body. Aroma of tropical fruits - pineapple, guava and melons are noticeable with a big sweetness and malt presence in the nose, but not any real alcohol or pungency - nice! Medium to Full-bodied; Deep malty and rich biscuity and wheatie malts dominate, but the fruits and mellow grain come through closer to the end, with the hops finally cutting through and leaving a nice bitterness at the end, after the fruit flavours come through. Aftertaste is pretty balanced as well, with some smooth malts, a good deal of tropical fruits with some plentiful sweetness and a slight pungent and medicinal, full-flavoured finish with alcohol noticeable, but not nearly 8,5 per cent. Overall, a very nice, full-flavoured, complex and robust beer that hits the tropical fruit flavours nicely and gives a subtle pungency and astringency at the end - with the nicely balanced malt and hops. Good to try fresh from Southern Florida, but back up North! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 13-February-2021 for US$5,22 sampled at my house here in Washington on 10-May-2021.

Chunky, deep copper and slight pink coloured body with an orange and bronzed glow, all with noticeable chunks and floaters here, all under a small two to three centimetre tall tan head that leaves an ugly lace on top, with specs of pink on the sides. Aroma of guava, pure and simple, with a bunch of leftover sugars, malt, honey, hay, flowers and some soft alcohol towards the end, but this still is all about the fruit. Medium-bodied; Strong peach, apricot, papaya, melon and yes, guava notes dominate here with way more fruits than hops and no real bitterness at all, and only a slight underlying malt backbone that shows wheat and very mild flavours, all with the sweetness on the end hitting hardest. Aftertaste is dry, super floral, a touch grassy with some herbal complexities, but this is all about the fruits and while there isn't any bitterness here, this shows much more of a fruit beer than any IPA with fruit added. Overall, great to try as I love guava, and while this is great, this really isn't an IPA, but rather a fruit beer, in a good way!

super hazy, deep copper, peach and bronze coloured body with a muddied, pure orange glow, all with a ridiculously large-bubbled off-white and tan head that fades very quickly, after popping the exploded (but not opened or severed) can lid - somehow this wasn't a gusher, but the can was very pressurised. Aroma of very strong fruit notes of course with mangoes, papaya and passionfruit all noticeable and a hint of alcohol and flowers, but the fruits cannot be missed - they are very strong in the nose. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong mango and papaya notes dominate here in the flavours with a bit of guava and melons as well without any of the tart passionfruit notes that show in the nose, but some pungent malts and sweetness show through as well with a good effervescence. Aftertaste shows the rich body from the fruits, especially the mango, and the grainy notes without really any biscuity flavours and only a dash of the metallic punch and pungency that comes after the malts. Overall, a pretty nice, fairly easy-drinking fruity wheat with a lot of sour qualities, but nothing incredibly tart that hits home quickly or leaves the mouth puckered, even for a second. Nice to sample and despite the can getting ready to pop open without intervention, this poured okay and turned out to be at about the right stage of carbonation that I would have expected.

I love my strong ales but this tasted like it died in the keg or something, not much flavor carries over from the fruit punch theme, not much nose either.

Roast, caramel and a little rum which tastes better than the whisky. Black pour with good head and lacing. Oily texture, a little boozy on finish. Tap at brewery. Pretty decent. Velour Jumpsuit was a little better. Tap at brewery.

Lots of vanilla, some dark chocolate, lots of roast. Barky bitter finish with some of that lingering cacao super dark chocolate feel. Pours dark with good mocha head and lacing. Nice stuff. Tap at brewery.
