Is this the real life, or just Hop Rhapsody? Caught in a landslide and satisfying perfectly... open your eyes, look into the haze and see. All you craft beer fans, you need look no further because it's easy come, easy go, hops are high, bitter low, takes you where thw wind blows. Tastes pretty good to me... Hop Rhapsody.

Canned 08/07/18
Appearance - Pours with moderate haze and bright, coppery orange in color with an off-white, near two-finger width head. Good retention before dissipating to a thin, broken layer of suds that thicken up the closer it gets to the edge of the glass. Good amount of lacing with broken webbing and spotting.
Smell - Strong aroma that fills the general area when the can is cracked, with juicy, tropical notes of orange, pineapple, mango and guava. Hint of peach and a faint caramel malt sweetness.
Taste - Not quite as explosive as the nose leads on. A bit of dank earth upfront with pops of orange, mango, tangerine and then some pineapple by mid-taste. Faint caramel undertone. Light stonefruit. Finish lingers with a touch of earth, orange pith and tropical fruitiness.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with fair, tingly carbonation. Slick, easy drinker with velvety finish. You'd never know this was 10%.
Overall - It's a damn good brew and smooth as hell for a 10%, but the slight dank flavor upfront doesn't quite do it for me. That said, the rest of the flavor profile is on point.
