Born Colorado's twist on the APA style by adding Kviek yeast and bright aromas of lychee and citrus.

"Pairs well campfires and canoes"

Appearance - Pours a cloudy apricot with three fingers of frothy white head.

Smell - citrus and tropical hops, citrus and orange peel, tropical lychee and kiwi aromas, bready malts, caramel, and earthy citrusy yeast,

Taste - bold citrus and tropical hops upfront followed quickly into the citrus and orange peel alongside the tropical lychee and kiwi notes. The bready malts, caramel, and earthy citrusy yeast round out the brew.

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes sticky with the bold citrus and tropical hops and fruits lingering.

Overall - A bold, flavourful, and highly sessionable brew from the folks at Born Colorado. I like how they took the APA style and utilized Kviek yeast in it. This allowed for more of the citrus and tropical elements to shine through.
