Served On-Tap
A — Pours a nice coppery amber color into the glass, great clarity shown. A simple cream colored head forms on-top and leaves behind some nice sticky spots of lacing.
S — Smell is slightly sweet, some pineapple, mango, melon, lightly tropical and appealing, some light pine, but mostly sweet.
T — A lot like the nose, there is a carry over of sweetness, some added berry components and a bit of a grassy lemony note as well.
M — Medium bodied, a lingering semisweet finish.
O — Nice overall, though this is eerily similar to Rampant, same ABV/IBU and tasted side by side they are tough to distinguish.

A - clear copper with one finger head.
S - sweet, fruity, piney, dried date.
T - moderate carbonation, smooth medium body. up front with sweet, fruit, dried fruit, caramel hint, emerging hoppy, balanced out with malt.
O - too sweet for me, it's a pretty promising brew, big, smooth, bitter. kinda oxidized feel to me.

From the growler, it pours amber with a small head that stays a while. Floral citrus scent caresses the nose - maybe some alcohol as well. The taste is definitely big on hops, with some malt in the background and leaves a faint lingering bitterness.
