Pours a turbid straw yellow with hints of orange. Light white head on medium pour. Nose is a mix of tropical and citrus with light floral notes. First sip is straight pineapple juice! Love it. As the beer warms the flavor transforms with notes of pithy citrus, mango, melon and sweet kiwi. Nice doughy sweet malt presence with minimal floral notes to taste. Creamy full body, soft with a smooth yet hoppy finish. Very light on bitterness. I think this is a fantastic beer.

 

 

Murky, orange with two fingers of off white head that leaves wide bands of lacing. Nose has papaya, grapefruit, orange and pine. Taste is sweet and the body is medium and creamy. Sweet overripe fruits like mango and papaya blend with citrus and finish with an aggressive bitterness. A tiny bit of booziness but a pretty solid beer.

 

A: Pours a murky dark golden honey in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate burnt orange + medium golden yellow + apricot colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a few small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy tropical/mango, tropical/papaya, citrus grapefruit, citrus/tangerine, and citrus/orange hops over the top of light aromas of biscuit + honey + oat malts with a light to moderate amount of honey + lactose-like sweetness.

T: Upfront there is a just shy of moderate flavor of biscuit + honey + oat malts with a light to moderate amount of honey + lactose-like sweetness. That is followed by just shy of strong flavors of juicy tropical/mango, tropical/papaya, citrus grapefruit, citrus/tangerine, and citrus/orange hops which impart a minimal amount of bitterness which fades away almost instantly leaving lingering moderate citrus + tropical juicy hop flavors.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Soft and fluffy with a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a really enjoyable soft fluffy mouthfeel. Really nice hop flavors and aromas with enough sweetness. Definitely could handle having this one again.
