Can. Wow, I cannot believe this beer is not getting better ratings. It drinks almost as good as Zombie Dust or Pseudo Sue and is sub 5%. This beer should be tearing up the Wheat Ale style. Pour is crystal clear orange with a small white head and good lacing. Aroma is CITRA! tropical citrus, grapefruit, passionfruit, lovely. Flavor is the same, lightly sweet and lightly bitter, no real wheat notes present, but wonderful fruity hoppiness. Amazingly full bodied for a 5%er, oily in the mouth. Fuck yeah.

I think I am the first person to rate this from a can! Thanks cococapuph! Pours clear amber orange with a medium beige head that dissipates fairly quickly with nice lacing left on the glass. Aroma is not strong, but a wonderful tropical mix of passionfruit, citrus, mango, cat piss, buttered toffee. Flavor is the same, dank as advertised. Light plus sweetness and light to medium bitterness. Medium body, very slick and oily in the mouth. Quite a tasty beer, with a surprisingly rich palate for 7%.

On tap at Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens. It pours a clear golden body and a dense, small white head. Sweet fruity flavor with peaches and orange. Lightly sweet flavor with orange and apricot. Quite sweet on the palate, yet feeling dry. Pleasant carbonation. Bitter, orange tasting finish. Way too sweet and boring this one. 130817

On tap at Stone 17th anniversary party. Lightly unclear, golden in color and with a small off-white head. Apricot, pine cones and pineapple on the nose, some hints of pale malts. Medium body, nice carbonation, quite dry. Bitter flavor with some pale malts and lots of hoppy flavors. Bitter, fruity finish. A nice one, but maybe a bit dry and bitter. 130816

Draft. Amber beer with a whitish head. Wheat and citrus aroma. Grapefruit and spice flavor with wheat and malt. Medium bodied. Grapefruit and wheat linger with light earthiness.
