A simple malt base and moderate bitterness allow the irresponsibly large dry hop of Mosaic and Amarillo hops to shine. The result boasts a glorious aroma of mango, apricot, and pine, with a dry finish that will have you coming back for more.

Always down to try out some baseball themed (seamed?) beers. Two seam, shit yeah man, we used to be able to fire that shit in there, still get a few wows w the arm at the hot corner in these old man days.
Pours golden yellow, looks to be in the west coast ipa subgenre appearance wise despite the claim of oats being used here as if it was a hazy ipa, but, no, i would say it is not one of those. 1/4" white head. Nice hit of Mosaic hops, usual papaya, blueberry, weed note. Amarillo dumps some farm grove citrus into the equation. Its a good nose that just seems lacking just a tad bit in terms of quantity.
The taste bangs right back to very good levels, as there is a nice briskness in the mouth feel, good light grain notes with what seems like ample Mosaic and Amarillo. The Amarillo does double duty as its almost like Simcoe is in there as a bittering hop, but no, must be Amarillo. Armadillo By Morning is one of my favorite tshirts. Good dry and clean finish to it.

Looks great, but the taste is too burnt for my palate.

LOOKS: A hazy burnt orange with a small white head. Mild lacing down the glass.
AROMA: Mild, but, smells like o.j. , & mango.
TASTE: Has a sweet, fruity, and almost artificial flavor up front; like, sweet tarts mixed with Tang. Fair amount of bitterness comes through towards the finish.
FEEL: Average carbonation, medium-ish body, and medium dry.
OVERALL: Just that sort of slightly weird flavor, but not horrid. Keep after it, folks.

Haven't been a big fan of their beers but this one was pretty good.
Nice clear orange color, fresh, crisp taste. Really drinkable this was perfect for
a hot summer day.
