Canned 9/29/2024, drank 10/20/2024. Cloudy medium orange body, medium to thin tight cream head. Aroma spicy, catty, and dank with melon, lychee, carambola, and a touch of pineapple. The body, especially with warmth, is akin to a peach-melon smoothie with additional notes of stone fruits, peach pit, mango skin, candied papaya, and white grape. Catty, herbal roughage and pink grapefruit rind provide a nice bite. Very good.

Canned 10/1/2024, drank 10/12/2024. Cloudy medium orange-brown papaya body, medium clumping cream head. Aroma big on the orange marmalade, complemented by papaya and melon; sweet and juicy on the whole. Body is a blast of juice, tons of papaya, also candied kumquat, orange marmalade, lime, guava, passionfruit, and a little bubblegum. Perfectly balanced by tannic pink grapefruit rind in the finish, but no noticeable hops burn despite being so fresh. This is so fine.

Canned 9/27/2024, drank 10/12/2024. Cloudy pale orange body, thick puffy cream head. Aroma a blend of tropical fruits (pineapple, lychee), citrus, melon, and sweaty cattiness. The body is largely similar with a nice lychee/melon/passionfruit/strawberry base with peppery/catty elements, pineapple, and grapefruit resins providing bite. Sweet but not overly so; smooth, creamy, and full-bodied. Great.
