Pours hazy yellow gold into a shaker. Bright white head recedes leaving trailing sheets. Yuzu and passion fruit aromas. Crisp with lemon sorbet and pineapple upfront turning to passion fruit before the lasting overripe tropical fruit skin finish.

16 oz can. Aroma is vanilla cream, mild chocolate, and weak roast. I really enjoyed it for about 4 ounces and then quite honestly it just gets entirely too sweet. WAY much marshmallow, vanilla, Lactose. It is a liquid Whoopie Pie with no balance.

Can (12/2/22) pour from The Beer Store, Salem. An opaque dark brown with thin cap of beige head fading to ring. Aroma is strong roasted malt, chocolate, rye, hint of cinnamon. Taste is strong roasted malt, toffee, ashy on the back half. Smooth, frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and crisp, dry finish with lingering bitterness. Not getting bourbon or barrel. A lot of tiny flaws.

Can pour at tasting at Crafted. Hazy cloudy yellow but not as sludgy as some examples of style. Nose is spicy hops and fruits. Tastes of honey dew, strawberry, pine, grapefruit, some resin. More bitter than other examples which is appreciated.
