A: Pours a milky murky pale golden apricot in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate bright yellow + lemon yellow + straw yellow + pale orange colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a handful of small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/grapefruit + tropical/pineapple + tropical/passionfruit + tropical/mango hops over the top of moderate aromas of biscuit + pale + oat malts with moderate amounts of sugary sweetness.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of biscuit + pale + oat malts with moderate amounts of sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/grapefruit + tropical/pineapple + tropical/passionfruit + tropical/mango hops which impart a hint of bitterness which fades away almost instantly leaving moderate lingering sweet tropical hop flavors.

M: Slightly heavier than medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Moderate amounts of creamy soft/fluffiness mid-body and a light to moderate amount of dryness in the finish. Light to moderate amounts of alcohol warming.

O: Drinks very easily considering the strength and the alcohol is pretty well hidden except for the warming in the mouthfeel. Very pleasantly creamy soft/fluffy. Really enjoyable hop profile - lots of tropical, citrus, pineapple, and passionfruit.
