Can. Unclear pale golden body under a big, lacing white head. Aroma of tropical fruit and ripe peach. Taste is sweet, very smooth, soft pale malt, lots of tropical fruit, spicy yeast and canned peach, moderate bitterness. Fine balanced body and lots of tropical fruit with soft malt in aftertaste. Like a mix of hoppy sasion and NEIPA with a very smooth malt base. Interesting.
