A: Pours a lightly hazy medium bright golden orange in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate bright orange + apricot + peach + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of very thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thick ring at the edges of the glass. Slightly heavier than moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate to strong aromas of tropical/melon + citrus/grapefruit + floral + tropical/papaya + citrus lime zest hops over the top of just shy of moderate aromas of toasted + biscuit + caramel malts with a light to moderate amount of caramel sweetness.
T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of toasted + biscuit + caramel malts with a light to moderate amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of tropical/melon + citrus/grapefruit + floral + tropical/papaya + citrus lime zest hops which impart a moderate amount of lingering bitterness.
M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp initially with a light amount of dryness in the finish.
O: Easy to drink with decently well hidden alcohol and a pleasant crispness to the mouthfeel. Enjoyable with a slightly different (more unique) hop profile but still getting some of the more classic grapefruit + tropical notes and lingering bitterness.
