Original Score:
A - 4
S - 4
T - 3.75
F - 4
O - 3.75

A - Pours a medium pineapple color that's totally opaque in color.

S - Pulpy citrus and pineapple aroma.

T - Pulpy, earthy citrus, pineapple, guava, and alcohol, followed with a little more citrus and then some more alcohol.

M - Thick, chewy, silky soft, and finishes dry with residual alcohol effervescence.

O - Aroma and taste falls a little flat and booze forward.

 

Interesting brew - three malts, three hops, three yeasts. Had on draft at the brewery, and poured from a crowler later at home. Pours a deep, very dense hazy yellow-orange, with a creamy head about a half inch deep, of very very tiny bubbles. Nice sticky lacing on the side of the glass as I drink this. From the smell at least two of the hops are Galaxy and Mosaic - the third I'm guessing is Nelson Sauvin. Lots of mango and floral notes in the aroma, more than a hint of booze as well (9% ABV). Very thick, creamy mouthfeel - I'm guessing lots of oats in the malt bill. Again, plenty of mango, crushed peach, other fruity and floral flavors as I sip it - definitely a bit on the sweet side, but it avoids being too cloyingly sweet. That thick juicy character does a decent job of hiding that alcohol, it smells boozier than it tastes. Finish is still a bit too sweet for my taste, but I had no problem finishing the crowler.
