16oz can pours a bright yellow, translucent but nearing transparent, sticky white head. Nose has all the right stuff, some melon, grapefruit, some oats, flowers, perfume. Flavor falls off just a touch maybe, a touch papery now, perhaps showing some age? Oats come through now with herbs, stale grist, some orange, melon and a little vanilla finally. FInishes mostly dry, a touch bitter.

16oz can pours a pulpy orange, some ringing white head. Nose plays the hits, orange, tangerine, some melon, some vanilla, grapefruit soda. Flavor is better, sweet orange sherbet, melon sorbet, honey and oats, tangerine and orange. Pillowy finish.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/10/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy pineapple, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, red grapefruit, peach, pear, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berries, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, peppercorn, pine, herbal, floral, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of pineapple, citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, lactose, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy pineapple, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, red grapefruit, peach, pear, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berries, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, peppercorn, pine, herbal, floral, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, Brett spiciness; and pine, herbal, floral, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy pineapple, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, red grapefruit, peach, pear, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berries, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, peppercorn, pine, herbal, floral, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of pineapple, citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitter/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/tart/tangy/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and acidic/tangy/tannic/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a fantastic fruit/hopped milkshake sour. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of pineapple, citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/spicy/tart/tangy/drying finish. Nicely soft and mellowly lactic for the style. Fantastic balance of juicy pineapples, Brett/Lacto complexity, and vibrant/dank/earthy Galaxy hops; with a great lactose and pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding spot on style example. Loved the hop profile as expected. Not overwhelming on any aspect.

Draught @ the source (8/31/19). Cloudy darkish yellow with foamy white head, sweet guava flavor, adequate carbonation, medium bitter lightly piney guava taste, thin body, long tinny finish. For some reason tastes soapy and tinny.

Can at The Sampler: pours slightly hazy with a white head. Aroma is citrus and some tropical fruitiness. Taste is sort of bitter, somewhat sweet, a little disjointed, but basically fine.
