Picked up a 16 oz Mason Jar draft from the Craft Beer Quick Stop 9-12-19 for $5.00. Consumed on 9-12-19.
Beer poured a cloudy golden orange with a beautiful white head that is leaving lacing behind.
Nose is very tropical with mango and papaya evident.
Taste is a wonderful combination of mango and orange, papaya and a touch of melon. Finishes with a moderate rind bitterness; 6/10 on my scale.
Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and very refreshing.
Overall a very good beer, very similar to my favorite Tombstone!

A pint can dated 08/14/18 purchased at Mister B's in Denver poured in my trusty Storm Peak Dogfish look alike glass.
Look- Pours a creamy orange juice color leaving a finger of white foam behind. Some moderate lacing is present.
Smell- Fresh squeezed orange juice, pineapple, mango, passionfruit, floral and peppery spice.
Taste- Orange/pineapple juice, mango, passionfruit, floral and a hint of mint in the finish.
Feel- Medium thick and creamy up front, finishing dry.
Overall- A well crafted NE style IPA from the other coast. The smell and taste is loaded with a cornucopia of hoppy pleasure. A pure joy to drink and something I'll be looking for again. I'm a bit surprised the rating isn't a little higher.

Appearance - Poured 10oz into a 16oz snifter. Big, soapy layer of suds cling to the edge of the glass and extend outward toward the center of the drink. Thick, broken sheeting and smaller spotting makes up the lace.
Smell - Fruity aroma. Mild, but hints at citrus and peach.
Taste - Follows the nose. Mild citrus with a hint of peach and residual sweetness. Light white bread malt flavor. Almost hollow in the finish, with lingering fruity and bready sweetness.
Mouthfeel - Light-to-medium in body with low, lightly tingly carbonation. Slick texture. Drinks easy, with a slightly flat finish.
Overall - Easy drinker, but the lack of both strength and depth of flavor is concerning. Two beers in, and I'm not feeling the hype this brewery has generated. Wish I had more time for them to prove me wrong, but alas.
