Hopped with Enigma, Eureka, and Rakau, you will experience tropical flavors with a slight spice on the nose. Adjustments to the water profile provide a softness reminiscent of Nate's personality.

From the 16 oz can. No date shown. Sampled on December 20, 2018.
The pour is orange-amber with a modest and lasting white foamy head. Moderate clarity. Not hazy.
The aroma is zesty with orange notes, fruits, and a pine character. Low bready malt profile.
About a medium body or better.
The hop characters come across as more bitter than fruity in the taste but generally it is an easy drinking hopped up beer.

Poured into a tulip (treated as a New England styled IPA), the appearance was a soft chill hazy yellow/orange color with a nice semi-thick foamy white glaze of lace sticking around my glass after a finger's worth of white foamy head quickly slid off.
The aroma started off smelling like pineapple cake forming around some vanilla and coconut then structuring around some biscuity malty batter-like character.
The flavor starts with an odd bittering then seems to slide into some edgy bitter clingy piney dry woodiness. It doesn't match the aroma so much. And actually the more it warmed, the more the flavor grew away from the aroma. Somehow, I didn't mind this and accepted for the most part. Definitely, a dry piney woody aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was dry and about medium bodied with a mostly sipping sort of quality to it due to the dryness. Carbonation felt somewhat low and the ABV felt on par. Finish was very dry with some juicy pineapple and piney woody.
Overall, a very odd beer to me considering the aroma came nowhere close to the flavor. I've had some really awesome beers by this brewery but am wondering, what's up with this one. My numbers are "gentle" with this one but somehow I wouldn't mind trying again just to see what I think of this at another time.
