16oz can pours a muddy, dark orange with some creamy, white head. Nose is interesting, heavy tea, rose hips, muddled herbs, dried orange peel, some lime too. Flavor is alright, orange peel, floral tea, stale grist, muddled tropical fruits. Finishes dry. The pieces don’t totally fit together, but it’s drinkable.

Sample at The Bad Apple in Chicago. The beer is a hazy brownish-orange color with a thin off-white head that dissipates steadily to a wispy film. Spotty lacing. Tart fruit, yeast and chocolate aroma. Light-bodied with flavors of tart citrus, yeast and chocolate. The finish is salty citrus and chocolate. Decent overall.

16 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours lightly hazy deep orange/light copper color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big pineapple, peach, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, papaya, berry, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange peel, light pepper/pine, light caramel/nuttiness, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of bright/juicy citrus/tropical hops, herbal tea, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big pineapple, peach, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, papaya, berry, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, light caramel/nuttiness, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/herbal/spicy/citrus peel bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of pineapple, peach, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, papaya, berry, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange rind, pepper, pine, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of bright/juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops, herbal tea, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, with slight lingering hop/tea astringency after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, sticky/resinous, and fairly grainy/bready balance mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.4%. Overall this is an outstanding hoppy wheat ale. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of bright/juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops, herbal tea, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.

16 oz can poured into a tulip. Clear dark amber with about a finger of beige head. Aromas of malt, orange citrus, fruity tea. Tastes of bitter floral, wheat, some citrus, bits of tea, malt. Medium body with a dry finish. Interesting, a bit strong on the malt and bitterness for me.

Can from Craft Beer Kings. Aroma is very mosaic, with some possible tea lurking. Med body. Flavor is something like tea and very tropical/grape. Not very bitter, but there’s some tea to help with that in the finish. Quite a hoppy/fruity ale. Nice.
