Appearance: Arrives with a clear caramel color layered by an inch of foam; decent lacing action
Smell: Tropical fruit and grassy tones
Taste: A modest touch of caramel lays the foundation with the tropical fruit and grassy flavors emerging; the bitterness builds, in the middle, along with a vague hint of berry flavors; the beer finishes rather dry though there is some lingering caramel
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: Not among my favorites in the series, particularly after the spectacular January offering, it still is decent and quite drinkable

Came a clear lighter amber shade with a nice sticky white head atop.Floral light citric hops in the nose along with lightly toasted malts.A mix of leafy and fruity hops but not very bitter,the malt base is on the drier side.I like the fruitiness from the hops almost like an overripe mix of mango and pineapple.A solid drinkable 2nd edition of 2015.

Appearance is copper amber color with a fluffy white head that towers fairly high. Aroma is grassy citrus, floral, spice and earthiness. Fresh grains and chewy malts. Fun to sniff.... Taste is sweet tropical with spice and earthy citrus and grains. Not bad. A little humid summer like somehow....
