Fairly hazy orange and almost bronze coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall off-white head that fades fairly quickly, but leaves a pretty nasty lace on the side that's ugly and tall. Aroma of very strong oranges and tangerine notes with a lot of pungent grassy and herbal hops with some floral and hay-like elements with a big a yeast and bready scent towards the end with a nice sweetness and still bitter hoppiness evident, but the tangerines and even grapefruit are clearly here. Medium-bodied; Strong pure orange and tangerine bitterness dominates here with a good backbone from the rich malts and pungent yeast with a lot of bitterness here and some sweetness evident from the fruits with a lot of body and super rich qualities. Aftertaste shows the sweet fruits, but very pungent rich maltiness and wheatie qualities with a lot of the yeast and bread coming through still, but a lot of grapefruit, tangerine and even mango notes evident - very strong. Overall, a nice pungent and bitter (from the hops and the fruits) beer with a lot of pungency, especially for the style, but goes down still easily and shows a good richness, despite it still being relatively easy-drinking and complex. Nice to sample, especially on a hot day here in Washington. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 30-December-2020 for US$5,22 sampled at my house here in Washington on 31-August-2021, this last day of August.
