Draft at Solace Outpost Falls Church. Poured a hazy dark yellow color with a medium sized white head. In the light there are more orange hues. Aroma was light, vibrant orange citrus, big mango. Pleasant flavor, alcohol was really well masked.

Draft at Solace Outpost Falls Church. Poured a clear yellow color with a medium sized, slightly off-white head. Aroma was light hop, lemon, some light salt. Pretty light, but with some prominent mosaic hops. Wife like this one, despite being repulsed by hops most of the time.

Very hazy peach and orange coloured body with a very thick, large, soapy and super quick dying off-white head that starts off at around 8 centimetres tall and fades to just a thin layer after about thirty seconds. Aroma of funky tangerines with tang powder (the best!), flowers, earth, biscuits, grainy malts, a dash of lemongrass and some other soft herbal elements, all with some noticeable malts and wheat here, but more from the dryness and citrus with no mangoes here, in the nose at least. Light-bodied; Pretty crisp and citrusey flavours show at first with blood oranges, tangerines, full oranges, curacao and a hint of limes as well, but fairly bitter in terms of the fruits and light bodied from the soft and shallow malts with a dash of alpha acids from the hops, but more from the fruits of course. Aftertaste shows a faint hit of brine with some light malts here to try to save face and provide balance, but this really is about the bitterness, acidity and dryness from the citrus fruits, and again without any mango flavours or body, this is thin and orangey. Overall, a very dry and grassy, slightly grainy, but fruit-forward (just not mangoes!) beer that shows a lot of citrus fruits, especially tangerines with some fake fruit notes (tang is great!) and some bitterness here from hops, just not any brine really and definitely no mangoes. Overall, a interesting one for sure, but it isn't bad and does still show a bunch of fruits (just not the ones from the front of the can) and no brine, but still easy-drinking, especially on a still-warm day here in the city in mid-september! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 06-July-2020 for US$4,99, canned on 22-May-2020 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 12-September-2022, while the flag is still draped from the Pentagon, a few blocks from my house.

16 oz. can from Ashley. Pours a cloudy yellow-gold color with a white head and very good retention. A few spots of lacing. Faint citrus aroma, but not much aroma at all. Mostly pale malt flavor with faint citrus notes in the finish. Not much pilsner malt flavor. Crisp mouthfeel. Medium-light body. Low bitterness. A good everyday beer, but nothing special.

Very nice beer. A nice balance between sweetness from that pineapple flavor, and bitterness from the pithy grapefruit. Well done. Thanks Bri!

Thanks Brian! And Moon Dawg! Pairs well with frisbee tosses to The Ghost and a Hofbrรคu Oktoberfestbier. Double fist Jones. Very juicy and delightful. Boats โnโ Hoes.

16oz can. Poured a hazy orange color with a medium sized, lightly foamy white head. Aroma was floral notes, biscuit, with some light sweetness. Flavor was pleasant citrus, floral, with a nice hop bite to it. Pleasant stuff.

Pint can thanks to hershiser2! Want to get to bed early tonight. This should help. Oily looking black with a large fizzy dark brown head. Average retention. Aroma of roast, whiskey, vanilla, chocolate, cola, nougat. Taste is roast, dark chocolate, brownie batter, vanilla, cherry, a vegetal note, whiskey, vanilla. Full bodied. Hint of booze but its well hidden. Very nice.
