Four-pack bought for me by friend at Brewery for $20. My ninth brew from these guys. Not a big fan. I find their beer overrated.

A: Pours a milky murky slightly darker than medium golden honey in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate burnt orange + bright orange + apricot + peach + dark golden yellow + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a couple of medium sized patches of medium thick film each covering about 20% of the surface of the beer surrounded by a large patch of very slightly mottled very thin film covering the reminder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/grapefruit + citrus/tangerine + tropical/mango + gooseberry + tropical/passionfruit hops as well as hints of herbal hops over the top of moderate aromas of biscuit + toasted + oat malts with moderate amounts of sugary sweetness.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of biscuit + toasted + oat malts with moderate amounts of sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/grapefruit + citrus/tangerine + tropical/mango + gooseberry + tropical/passionfruit hops as well as hints of herbal hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away fairly quickly leaving moderate lingering tropical + herbal hop flavors.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Moderate amounts of creamy soft/fluffiness mid-body and a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a very pleasant creamy soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Enjoyable with an interesting combination of flavors and aromas from the hop profile - when I saw it contained Sabro I was expecting the coconut presence but it was definitely more the tangerine + tropical notes.
