Pint can. Passion fruit aroma with notes of mango, lychee, papaya, grapefruit and floral hops. Pours clear golden colored with a finger of off white head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with juicy passion fruit, lychee and grapefruit hop flavors. Finishes dry but smooth with mango, papaya and floral hop flavors. Quite nice.

From Good Times Oakland, canned November 12th 2025.
It pours a hazy light orange with a finger of foam, good retention and lacing.
The smell is citrus grapefruit, tropical fruit, large level of dankness.
The taste is grapefruit citrus, tropical fruit that brings dankness, pine, hoppy as heck but the combination of hops used doesn't work that well for me.
Good enough mouthfeel, I would not seek this out.

Can at Smoke Eaters. This is fantastic! Pours turbid orange-gold with small white head. Overt citrus aroma. Flavor is massive orange with viscous, velvety texture. Wonderful.

From Good Times Oakland, canned October 22nd.
Pours a clear pale gold, good head of foam, retention and lacing are fine.
The smell is big pine, tropical fruit, melon, dankness, the hoppiness is a bit overwhelming.
The taste reflects the smell. Intense tropical fruit and pine, spicy, melon , pretty darn dank. Kind of hard to drink, to be honest.
Mouthfeel is juicy, I would not drink this again.

Opaque, clean pale malt. Hops are orange and onions. Ok, this is full of fucking sulphur and that doesn't work for me.

Clear, bright, very dark brown color with a small beige head, aroma of gingerbread, ginger ale; smooth palate; balanced flavor with a long, light bitter sweet finish.
