A: Pours a bright murky pale orange in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate apricot + peach + bright yellow + bright orange + pale golden yellow colored highlights.The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a few small to medium sized patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of very slightly mottled 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 tropical/mango + tropical/passionfruit + citrus/grapefruit + stone fruit/peach hops over the top of just shy of moderate aromas of biscuit + pale + oat + wheat malts with a light to moderate amount of sugary sweetness.
T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of biscuit + pale + oat + wheat malts with a light to moderate amount of sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy tropical/mango + tropical/passionfruit + citrus/grapefruit + stone fruit/peach hops which Impart a minimal amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving moderate lingering mango + passionfruit flavors.
M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly heavier than moderate amounts of creamy soft/fluffiness mid-body and a light amount of dryness in the finish.
O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a very pleasantly creamy soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Enjoyable with tons of tropical + citrus + stone fruit hop flavors and aromas.
