Pours bright hazy gold into a shaker. White head with little retention recedes to nothing. Mango, lychee and passion fruit aromas. Crisp with tangerine, lime and lemon upfront turning to hot citrus pith and peel in the dry, lasting finish.

Can (2/3/21) pour from trade with Johnnnniee via The Packie--thanks, John! It'a an opaque light brown-dark yellow with tons of sparkle at the edges of the glass, 2-finger frothy foam off-white head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is musty herb, mild fruit and bread. Taste follows aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste with dry lingering yeast and mild bitterness. Overall, while within its first 90 days, judging by the review below it tastes different at day 10 than day 80 so there must be appreciable hop falloff. Will have to look out for a fresher can at some point.

Can from the Packie Lightly hazy lemon in color with a thin frothy white head that dissipates quickly. Yellow citrus earth and light grass with a faint sweet bready maltiness behind it.
Hazy and dank, sensational! Sorry for your loss Joe Y. , hope to share a beer with you soon!

Canned 10/22/19. Aroma is bold pineapple, guava and light citrus. The flavor is bright with fruits; pineapple, citrus peel, guava like. Texture is very juicy and absolutely no bitterness. This the example of a “ juice bomb “. Easily the best thing I’ve had from this brewery.

Pitch black appearance. Aroma of chocolate, roast, I don’t find a barrel. The oak barrel is noticed in the flavor. Shows a soft bitter chocolate near the finish. Medium body for a porter.
