Roaring to life with the tropical fervor of Strata and Citra hops, this IPA explodes with intense notes of passion fruit, grapefruit and mandarin orange.

Medium bodied with a 2-finger head and lacing. A nice golden color, but almost hazy as it is opaque. Taste is tropical fruit with a slight hop bite at the finish. Very drinkable and almost light and refreshing. 20 IBUs Rated 8-28-2021

Nearly clear amber beer, on the darker side, with abundant foam in the Wander shifter. Not exactly tropical, I'd call it more of a fragrant piney breeze with a citrus nose. Flavor is more citrus with a grapefruit peel finish. Crisp and barely sweet, but pleasingly malty to start.
Lush and sudsy mouthfeel with plenty of hoppy aromatics. From the 500 ml bottle purchased at Haggen Market. "Refillable"-- it would be so much better than recycling. LIke the old days of buying Oregon stubbies, or cases of pint bottles in Pottsville.

Bottle poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass
A: Pours hazy golden orange amber with a frothy pale khaki head that settles to a firm layer and laces very nicely.
S: Tropical fruit, zesty citrus, dank herbal notes, lightly toasty biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
T: Mix of citrus, tropical and stone fruit, orange, apricot, peach, mango, passion fruit, lemon lime, and a hint of strawberry, dank herbal undertones, lightly toasted biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation.
O: The malt profile gives this kind of a throwback feel, but with more modern hops. Might not be my first choice, but I wouldn't object to a second pint of it.

500ml bottle from Trader Joe in Salem OR.
$3.99
hmmm very turbid/hazy beer. Darker burnt orange colour. Wasn't expecting this in a Tropical IPA.
Aromas are nice mostly citrus. Grapefruit and lemon peel.
Taste very citrus..bitter grapefruit again. Some lemon and a bit of lime. Tasty.
Mouth feel is very good..strident carbonation and a dry finish.
Nice IPA..thirst quenching
