Can from Hi-Time. Pours hazy gold with a finely foaming white head. Tropical aroma - papay and banana? Med body. Flavor is tropical with spice bits - like pineapple astringency, passion fruit? Citrus for sure. Juicy but far from sticky. Very hoppy in a non- harsh, non-NW way. Pleasingly bitter. Quite nice.

Can from Hi-Time. Pours slightly hazy dark gold with an off-white creamy head that is sizable. Aroma is pineapple - sort of a cross between fresh and canned. Approaching medium body. Pineapple for sure - a bit tart/acidic - this stuff is fruity, not bitter. Light sweetness in the finish. Rather refreshing. Could be pool/lake beer - session wise.

Draught at Annie Moore's: pours mostly golden with white head. Light citrus aroma. Taste is citrusy, lightly bitter, sort of grassy and herbal. Basically fine.

12 oz from the grocery store, thanks to my wife. Aroma is chalky candy, citrus rind, berries. Pours hazy golden with a one finger soapy bone-white head with decent retention. Taste is moderately bitter, lightly sweet, finishing dry, with citrus and huckleberry flavor. Prickly, harsh carbonation. Not bad.

Can from Total Wine in San Jose, CA. (Stevens Creek) Pours translucent gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is very mango. Near medium body. Flavor starts all mango (with a wheatiness) and then there's a strong hot spice in the finish. Strong! Maybe this should have been a chili entry. :)

US Pint, on-tap in a Sports bar on the PCH in Newport Beach. Came headless, very cold, murky orange and highly carbonated. It's a fizzy Mango fruit juice with a bit of alcohol thrown in. Nothing offensive, but a liking of Mango's helps.
gave a cheers!

12 ounce can into pint glass, best before 10/20/2019. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy pineapple, blood orange, strawberry, fruit skin/seed, citrus zest, peach, pear, melon, red apple, wheat, cracker, and white bread dough; with lighter notes of banana, clove, peppercorn, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of pineapple, blood orange, strawberry, fruity/light spicy yeast, pale/wheat malts, and light earthy hop notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy pineapple, blood orange, strawberry, fruit skin/seed, citrus zest, peach, pear, melon, red apple, wheat, cracker, and white bread dough; with lighter notes of banana, clove, peppercorn, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light fruit/wheat tang/tartness; herbal, floral, grassy bitterness; and yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy pineapple, blood orange, strawberry, fruit skin/seed, citrus zest, peach, pear, melon, red apple, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of pineapple, blood orange, strawberry, fruity/light spicy yeast, pale/wheat malts, and light earthy hop flavors; with a fantastic malt/bitter/spicy/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with no cloying, puckering, astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/tart/tangy/spiciness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, creamy/grainy, and fairly sticky/acidic/tangy/tannic mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4%. Overall this is an outstanding fruited American wheat ale. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of pineapple, blood orange, strawberry, fruity/light spicy yeast, pale/wheat malts, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and fairly crisp to drink with the mildly bitter/tart/tangy/spicy/drying finish. Fantastic soft feel, flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great balance of juicy/jammy fruit and American wheat yeast complexity; with a nice sized pale/wheat malt backbone for the ABV. Light residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example. Best of the series yet.
