Pours a hazy pale golden amber coloration with a small, fizzy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and hoppy citrus/tropical notes of orange, mango and papaya, with a touch of booze coming through as well. Taste is dominated by juicy and slightly zesty citrus notes of orange and tangerine, with some lighter, sweet tropical notes of mango and papaya coming through as well. There are also some grape skins and a light grassy dankness to this, as well as some light biscuity malt. Finishes with a very light bitterness and a somewhat astringent boozy sting in the aftertaste. Soft, pillowy mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This does have some nice, juicy tropical/citrus notes, but suffers from not hiding its ABV well, resulting in a certain boozy sting in both the aroma and aftertaste that is slightly reminiscent of solvent. Also, while there are some faint grape skins, the Nelson Sauvin is not coming through quite as much as I would like.

One of the 14 beers we have had in one session of some bad-ass tasting brew.

Hazy yellow, no head
Very fruity with tropical fruits and citrus.
A real hop punch
