Can (20247, so 8/24/20) pour. Appearance is opaque light brown with tons of sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-plus width foamy off-white head with good retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is moderate melon, stone fruit, tangerine. Taste is mix of berries, melon, stone fruit, unsweetened coconut, hint of alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, good look and feel with nice, sweet fruity aroma and taste, though lacking a bit in identity.

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Can date of 3/5/20. Aroma is passion fruit, peach pulp, old oranges. Texture is a bit pulpy. Thicker mouthfeel, low bitterness. Yep, peach, passion fruit, and old citrus flavors. Pretty good.

12 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Thanks! A near clear golden appearance. Aroma is weak fruit, pils malt. Flavor is pretty much a traditional pilsner. Mild bready dough, yeast, hay and soft bitter finish. Thin mouthfeel. Didn’t get the dry hopping character anyplace.

Can (20065, so 3/5/20) pour. Appearance is opaque dark orange with tons of effervescence on the sides of the glass and nice sparkle, 3-finger foamy off-white head with fair retention and mild lacing. This was all before I poured the last 10th of the can--then huge chunks of dark yeast and color turned murky, milky brown. Aroma is strong pineapple over slightly milder creamsicle orange. Taste is strong pineapple, other sweet fruit, with fainter citrus than the aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation, pleasant alcohol warmth being the only sign of alcohol and mild lingering bitterness and yeast. Last 10th of can made it look much worse but thickened it up a bit, which was welcome for the style (and making this seem much more that it really is a IIPA/NEIPA). Overall, LOVED the look until the last bit of the can, which turned it kind of grim. Aroma and taste are strong and delicious. Mouthfeel comes around. Still a good experience, especially at the outer edge of peak freshness.

Bottle pour. Appearance is exceptionally clear with finest mist of particulates, piss yellow color, light sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width fizzy head. Aroma is very strong lime, milder tequila but very margarita-esque. Taste definitely has some tart there but some sweetness as well. Does have a soda-like quality--kinda like Sprite or a mixture of tart apple (green apple) juice, ginger ale and lime. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, flavorful and strong but not complex--all there is is lime and tequila but it is doing very well what it sought out to do.

Can pour into nonic pint glass. Appearance is almost opaque yellow-orange (one shade shy of orange juice) with tons of effervescent sparkle at the edges of the glass finger-width foamy white head with decent retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is moderately strong citrus pine fruit. Taste is sweet lemony citrus first half balanced by dank resiny bitter second half. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth fairly thick frothy texture along with average carbonation and finish as taste with lingering bitterness dominant over sweet lemony citrus. Overall nice look and fairly strong aroma/taste but a bit on the bitter side for me. A bit old (born 5/15/19) so perhaps fruity hops a bit muted?
