Appearance: pours a hazy orange color with a 1" head that falls to a thick surface covering.
Smell: orange, mango, and some floral tones rise from the glass.
Taste: caramel, orange, pineapple, mango, and a floral bitterness are the main flavor components.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied beer. Crisp to start, less crisp and a touch dry at the finish.
Overall: despite the high alcohol, this beer is nicely refreshing on a warm day. Well balanced.

Unfiltered fruity hop goodness. Getting mango, pineapple along with hop bite. For an 8.2 ABV, a fairly low alcohol taste. Great unfiltered meal!

Difficult to distinguish from Epiphany. Draft at Slab restaurant in 16 oz. tulip glass.
Deep gold unfiltered almost copper color. Look of, "here comes another tart juice bomb."
Smell and taste don't disappoint.
Substantial body and tang. Tart drinkable double. If production continues, this will be another favorite and another reason to stick with local beer.
