Inspirational Quote
Ancillary* Fermentation

 

 

A: Pours a very lightly hazy medium to dark golden honey in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate orange + medium golden yellow + amber colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of slightly mottled thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of juicy syrupy sweet tropical/pineapple, tropical/melon, stone fruit/peaches, and tropical/mango hops as well as light to moderate aromas of pine hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + honey malts with a just shy of moderate amount of honey sweetness.

T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of biscuit + honey malts with a just shy of moderate amount of honey sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy syrupy sweet tropical/pineapple, tropical/melon, stone fruit/peaches, and tropical/mango hops as well as light to moderate flavors of pine hops. The hops contribute a light amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving a lingering juicy syrupy tropical hop flavor.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light amounts of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasant mouthfeel. Really enjoyable with a very pleasant tropical canned fruit salad flavor + aroma.

 

6/13 release

Very lightly hazed gold with a large lumpy off-white head. Smells of syrupy tropical fruit and pine...pineapple chunks, peaches, and melons. Continued canned fruit cocktail character in the taste, loads of fructose-like sweetness. Medium bodied, a little fluffy, dry in the finish, but the sweetness clings. Tasty in small doses, but an IPA should drink easier than this.
