Hazy, opaque yellow, with one finger of white head, that leaves a few spots of lacing. Looks like fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, with a head.
Smell is guava, passion fruit, pineapple, lime marmalade , with hints of carambola (star fruit) and papaya.
Taste is mostly bitter orange and pineapple, with a vague tropical fruit mix in the background. There is also a slight bitter herbal flavor on the latter half. I'd guess that is probably fresh hops, maybe too fresh, that might mellow with time. I'll save a couple for awhile, & re-review. Moderate bitterness.
Feel is medium, juicy, and smooth, with moderate, very fine, carbonation bite , that has a light burn at finish.
Overall, fairly good, but also not entirely satisfying. It may just be too young. Have to check it again in 3-4 weeks. I do like the greater bitterness, than is currently the norm, that keeps it from being too sweet.
