A: Pours a murky bright medium golden honey in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate peach + apricot + ripe mango yellowish orange + pale orange + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of slightly mottled very thin film covering the entire surface of the beer with a very 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 + gooseberry + pear + white grape + citrus/orange hops over the top of moderate aromas of biscuit + toasted + oat malts with moderate amounts of honey-like sweetness.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of biscuit + toasted + oat malts with moderate amounts of honey-like sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy tropical/mango + tropical/passionfruit + gooseberry + pear + white grape + citrus/orange hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving lingering vinous + gooseberry hops flavors.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. 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 pleasantly creamy soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Enjoyable hop profile with lots of contribution from the Nelson Sauvin (+ El Dorado) so a little different than many other offerings in this style.
