"We cranked the flavor up to 11 with Backstage Vagabond — a 6% IPA brewed for those who never let the party die. Bursting with bright citrus, ripe stone fruit, and a touch of tropical sweetness, it rides on a smooth body with just enough bitterness to leave you screaming for an encore and ready to join the after after party."

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance - The beer pours a hazed orange-yellow color with a large head of white foam. The head has a tremendous level of retention, fading slowly over time and leaving tons of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is big of a pineapple and mango smell mixed with a strong showing of tangerine and peach along with notes of a bready and doughy malt. Along with these smells comes big notes of grapefruit along with some more subtle aromas of a vegetal and floral nature.
Taste – The taste begins with a moderately bready and biscuit malt flavor paired with a subtle tangerine, pineapple, peach, and mango flavor. There is a rather decent showing of some pine and grapefruit hop upfront, with the former getting stronger as the taste advances. All the while the fruit gets a little more intense as well, while the malt seems to fad a tad. A grassy and light pepper flavor develop on the back end, mixing with the rest and leaving one with a moderately hopped and lightly juicy IPA taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body is medium to slightly chewy with a lighter carbonation level.
Overall – A decent IPA overall, but nothing all that exciting or worth going out of your way for.
