Had on tap. Nothing about this beer is too exciting, besides maybe the malt work. Just too malt and wheat forward for a tropical pale, pineapple, grapefruit and watermelon too faint to be the star. The feel is very thin and lacks any real texture.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a 12 oz bottle on May 4, 2017. Look is slightly orange gold with a huge white head and sticky lacing. Smell and taste is malt forward with wheat, rye and spice notes. There are some faint grapefruit and pineapple flavors as well. Feel is medium in body with a sharp, prickly finish.
