Pours a hazy, bright orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and quite tropical and lighter citrus hops, with notes of passion fruit, mango and grapefruit. Taste is a great balance of very light biscuity malt and juicy, very slightly herbal and resinous hops, with strong fruity tropical and lighter citrus notes of passion fruit, mango, papaya and grapefruit, as well as just a hint of pine and mint. Finishes with a light bitterness and some passion fruit and mango lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This is your typical tropical juicebomb NEIPA that showcases the Nectaron, formerly Hort 4337, hops nicely. In fact, I could have sworn there was Galaxy in this before reading the label notes, due to the strong passion fruit character. While it's a little too generic for my personal taste, it does what it sets out to very well, with a rather vibrant and juicy tropical and lighter citrus character, although the mouthfeel could be softer and more pillowy for the style, while some rather light piney and herbal accents make it a little more interesting though.

De Labirratorium. En copa Teku. Estudiando variado. Aromatica y con un perfil herbal y cĂ­trico muy agradable, algo astringente. Baja de alcohol sin resultar nada aguada. Otro birrote de Fraugruber, como siempre
