The beer pours a light straw color with haziness, as is suggested by the can. The decent head boils down to a thin but complete covering across the top of the beer with stronger patches in the middle and the familiar ring around the sides that holds up a certain amount of lacing. The aroma is tangerine, grapefruit, starfruit, and orange. They say that this is a force of juice, and they are not lying. There is a lot of juice and that aroma, and I'm hoping that it all translates to the sip.
First sip is, indeed, quite juicy. I was afraid that all of this juice would cause a massive amount of bitterness, but the beer manages to hold that at bay. Instead, I get relatively sweet citrus and tropical fruits that echo the aroma with its tangerine, grapefruit, starfruit, and orange. The malt is a bit grainy, but it is not doing all that much. Instead, it's getting out of the way to let the juices flow, and I'm thankful for it. It's a pretty good sip.
Tip-in is juicy and the light carbonation does little to stop it while a bitterness around the fringes is quite noticeable. The middle turns up the carbonation across the top of the mouth while the juice becomes less smooth through the center of the mouth and reveals a fairly rough texture of rinds have joined the juice. The finish is a hint of dryness that goes with more than a hint of tart before the trail off is fruit skins under a haze of bitterness.
Bottom Line: I like it well enough.
3.0/5
