A: Pours a hazy medium golden orange in color with moderate to heavy amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising quickly along the edges of the glass and moderate burnt orange + golden yellow + brassy colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy light beige head that slowly reduces to a couple of medium sized patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/orange, tropical/mango, tropical/guava, tropical/pineapple, tropical/papaya, tropical/melon, tropical/passionfruit, and citrus/lime hops over the top of just shy of moderate aromas of biscuit + caramel + oat + wheat + honey malts with a light to moderate amount of caramel + honey sweetness.

T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of biscuit + caramel + oat + wheat + honey malts with a light to moderate amount of caramel + honey sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/orange, tropical/mango, tropical/guava, tropical/pineapple, tropical/papaya, tropical/melon, tropical/passionfruit, and citrus/lime hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving lingering tropical hop flavors.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly sticky with a light amount of soft/fluffiness mid-body and a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a very pleasant sticky/fluffy/dry mouthfeel. Enjoyable with a really nice primarily tropical with some light citrus hop profile. Definitely could enjoy a few more of these.

 

 

 

Can

Pours a hazy dark gold with a lumpy foam head that deposits big chunky patches of lacing on the glass. Aromas of citrus and melon with some fruity yeast esters. Hoppy flavor: orange juice, dried pineapple chunks, and some piney spice. Sticky medium body, decently dry into the finish. Pretty good.

Unfiltered, cloudy, orange beer with a fluffy off white head. Tons of fruit in the nose. Grapefruit, orange, mango, and pineapple are all present with some piney hops. Sweet with a soft mouthfeel. Tons of juicy fruit, the same fruits that were in the nose, complimented by some piney hops flavor. This is a quite tasty beer.
