"2 legit 2 quit"

Appearance - Pours a clear gold with three fingers of frothy white head.

Smell - citrus and tropical hops, citrus and orange peel, mango, peach, papaya, hint of pineapple, bready malts, and earthy yeast.

Taste - citrus and tropical hops upfront. The citrus and orange peel, mango, peach, papaya, and hint of pineapple come through next. The bready malts, caramel, and earthy yeast round out the brew.

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes sticky with all elements lingering.

Overall - A highly sessionable and crushable APA from '88. I like how the citrus plays the dominant role and this one is sure a pleasant reminder of a summer sessionable brew.
