Had on tap at the brewery. Golden with a white head and lacing. Aromas of pine, tropical fruit, and grass. Flavors follow the nose with pine and grassiness in the forefront. Very good.

Pours orange with a heavy fog to the translucency. Head is two fingers of white foam. Aroma is pineapples and spicy hops. Flavor profile leads into more hops, hitting pineapple, orange, and tangerine before some moderate fruity yeast. Thick doughy and mild bready malts provide support, but it's a hop show. Mouth feel is medium-thick with a moderate softness that gets slightly crisp at the finish. Overall, nice depth and flavorful.

Dark golden look, with a hazy look and a thin ring of white head. Clean, green smell. This is really smooth, like really smooth. Clean dry feel in your mouth. Grassy hoppy taste, you can feel the bitterness in the back of your mouth. The bitterness is very bareable. You can feel the higher alcohol content, but it’s not bad at all. Slight malty flavor. Not a ton of aftertaste.

Excellent beer. Pours a dark apricot color with a huge, thick, off-white head that dissipated quickly leaving medium lacing.
The smell is loads of gummy peach and tropical fruits.
The taste is mango and sweet peach. Very tasty. There's a hint of pine on the finish.
The mouthfeel is slightly slick, oily, medium body, low/medium carbonation.
Overall a very delicious beer that's dangerously easy to drink for the abv.
