  • Purchased at Binnys on 2026-02-05. Date on bottom of can of 01-27-2026.

    A zealous pour brings upon a two inch, pure, snow white foam that has wonderful lacing and staying power. Pale gold and opaque. Good looking in the Hop Butcher glass.

    Orange jumps out of the glass on the initial pour. It slowly gives way to nondescript tropical fruit medley.

    Taste is somewhat sweet with the tropical fruit medley showing up. Subtle orange. Nonetheless a good flavor.

    Average mouthfeel and carbonation that gives a great body to the beer. Perfect for the style. Not as juicy as I would like. A bit drying.

    I know the can says they used Passionfruit and Guava terpenes (which I had to look up to know what it was) but I don't really get those aromas or flavor from the beer. It still was really good. I would have this again and glad I purchased a 4-pack. Enjoy!
