The beer pours a hazed orange gold colour with a short-lived bubbly head. Lacing is minimal. The aroma is grainy malt, citrus, light yeast, and some musty hops. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grainy malt with a hint of fruity sweetness. Unfortunately, the alcohol taste is not well hidden.

Tall can part of IPA mixed 6pk. Pours a huge frothy off-white head and has a super hazy orangey coloured appearance. Somewhat excessive carbonation. Some small chunky sediment visible through the haze. Aromas of tropical fruit, floral and funky, citrus and piney hops with some strong yeasty notes. Flavours are very juicy and fruity with tons of tropical fruits like mango and pineapple, lots of citrus and yeast. Smooth and slick mouthfeel, a little creamy but not too much. Goes down well for 8.2%abv. Good stuff!

Hazy amber colour with golden highlights. The head is kind of creamy, semi-frothy, warm off-white yellowish with good retention and some decent lacing spots. Nice fruity citrus nose at first. After breathing, some warming alcohol comes out and a caramel malt base. The taste is juicy with the oranges, but enough bitterness from the hops build up, cutting the juiciness with the alcohol. On the other side, It does not get as dry as expected where it is heading, so refreshing, warming - interesting.
