16 oz. can. Aroma soft grapefruit and orange. Flavor is grapefruit, orange, soft marmalade. No can date so it’s hard to know the age. Does show slight juicy texture with zero bitterness. Easy enough to drink.

On tap at Vaughan's in Hartford. Pours murky gold with an off-white head. Aroma is real peach, skin and all. Flavor is slightly tart peach, the meat around the pit. Real peach flavor here, nothing artificial. Somewhat creamy, not sweet but not sour.

On tap at Willimantic, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hops, light tropical fruits, and some pine. Flavour is very fruity, with loads of resinous hops, and tropical stone fruits. Fruity and juicy, with a nice hop character. Excellent - better than the average rating suggests.

Aroma of tropical fruit, herbal hop and malt. Medium body with flavors of piney hops, fruit and caramel malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a lingering fruity hop aftertaste.
