2 month old pint can
A: Thick pillow of foam over a lightly hazed pale gold body. Great retention and sheet lace.
S: Muted tart tropical fruit aroma features peach and pineapple. IOW what's there smells hazy.
T: Lightly bitter with subtle flavors that follow the nose plus a bit of citrus. Malts are crisp and toasty.
M: Snappy coating carbonation, light body and clean tart finish.
O: Nice and refreshing but nothing really stands out to make it a repeat purchase.

Can. Dark brown with a sudsy head that is a lighter shade of brown. The aroma is weird with odors that I cant accurately identify--perhaps there is some artificial strawberry, perhaps there is some chocolate mouse, perhaps some imitation vanilla. The taste is equally bizarre with chemically off flavors of fruits and chocolates. The palate is full. The finish is sticky sweet. Overall: Not my cup of tea.

Dark brown color with a thick brown head. Pours thick like syrup. Sweet strawberry dessert aroma. Flavor reminds me of melted ice cream and bitter coffee. Sweet strawberry and bitter dark chocolate taste.
