Pours dark gold, hazy yellow, with a fluffy white head. Huge aroma of peach, pine, grapefruit. Taste has some nice pine resin, huge citrus notes, lots of tropical fruits. Palate has more tropical fruit notes, tropical oils and resin that permeate the nasal cavity. Quite good.

Can (5/23/23) pour shared by Steve (can lists Mosaic, Simcoe and YQH-1320 as hops though lengthier description references Amarillo--different recipe?). Deeply hazy light yellow-orange, light sparkle, quickly fading head, light lacing. Aroma is strong tropical and candied fruit. Taste follows aroma with melon and a late dankiness. Mouthfeel a little thin to style, very little bitterness in the finish. Not complex but good strength juiciness, as you'd expect from the name.

Can, from the brewery. Pours faintly cloudy golden with a small foamy off-white head, faint malt aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter malty taste with basement flavors and jalapeno kick at the end, thin body, long finish with chili at the end. Interesting brew.

Can from tfontana, thanks for the trade! Hazy lemon yellow with a thin bubbly white head that persists. Grassy citrus aroma with a hint of bready maltiness. Flavor follows the aroma. Crisp bubbly mouthfeel. Pretty nice.

Can pour from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Appearance is opaque black with no sparkle, ephemeral beige ring of head and no lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt (slightly ashy), lactose, hint of a sour fruit quality. Taste is earthy, roasted malts, lactose and, again, almost a mild sour quality (sour milk?). Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, the earthy malt is not always my favorite and the sour note (which is probably my fault for not keeping it sufficiently cold) might detract, though I didn't find it objectionable, but otherwise checks the right boxes though doesn't stand out.

16 oz. can shared by tfontana, proper social distancing at 14 feet away on my back porch. Aroma is slight roast, mild chocolate. Seems like the milk sugar has a sour note to it. Seems like the base stout is ok. Could be a capable stout.
