Can from Stacks. Hazy orange, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of ripe mango, pear, melon, orange peel, grapefruit, apricot, biscuit, scallion, pineapple juice, fruit liqueur (Passoã). Taste has sweet mango, pear & apricot; bitter grapefruit and orange rind with some spicy scallion in a biscuity, oaty malt body. Bitter piney hops, lingering bitter orange peel & grapefruit balanced by juicy stone fruit, topped off with warming gin-like alcohol. Medium to full body, fluffy texture, soft carbonation. Very tasty, lots to enjoy here.
