Sweet tropical juicy fruity hoppy nose on this one! Taste follows with well-balanced, subdued citrus bitterness. It is light bodied but crushable...good!

510ml bottle served in a can-shaped glass. If there's a date, I don't see it. Gift from @mr-jj.

Pours a moderately hazy light amber color with a medium sized head and lots of carbonation. Smell is very fruity, tropical.

Taste is ripe papaya, I think. Maybe it's passionfruit I'm thinking of. Tropical fruit bordering on overripe and getting to a particular brownish pungent state in doing so. But also some nice pineapple.

Mouthfeel is medium thickness, smooth. Overall, nice beer.

L: Hazy goldenrod in color. From a very slow pour, a huge head accumulated to about 3 fingers, consisting of loosely packed off-white bubbles. Heaps of residual lacing coats the glass.
S: Tons of fruit character. Heavy on pineapple, passion fruit, pomegranate, mango, papaya and apricot. Very tropical smelling, with mild hop presence.
T: Tons of tropical fruit flavor. Mango, pineapple, kiwi & papaya are the majority. Lemon, tangerine and nectarine come to mind as well. Aftertaste comprises an abundance of fruit sweetness with a touch of hop bitterness. Finish is semi-dry.
F: Medium in body and weight. Moderate amounts of carbonation.
O: Super enjoyable. If you're into tropical-forward NEIPAs, I suggest you give this a try. I am very glad to have tried. Cheers!
