An American Pale Ale brewed with lactose along with a generous amount of Pilsner malt, and both white and flaked wheat to create a soft and pillow-y mouth feel along with a cracker-like backbone. Huell Melon experimental hop HBC-472 and of course Sabro crank out a bouquet of tropical fruit amidst a tidal wave of coconut goodness bursting from the unique HBC-472 and Sabro hops.

Amber appearance with medium light carbonation and a close to medium body.
Aroma is grain and cereal with some earthy hops. Some citrus fruit and other tropical fruits comes out as it warms.
Taste has a very mild sweetness, coconut and pineapple along with grain as well
Overall a very good beer

Poured from a 16oz can into an IPA glass. Color is a cloudy, straw-like yellow with a 1-finger head that dissipates quickly. Aroma grassy wheat with a fruity, citrus like sel. Taste is wheat-like with faint pineapple. Slight carbonation with a medium body finish. A different take on a pale ale and a good drinking beer.

On tap at the source, Nordic pint.

Light golden see-through look, 1f white cap, heavy lacing.

Tasty aroma. Wheat, grass, coconut, and fruit.

Toasted coconut and wheat malt flavor.

Medium body. Stone and citrus fruit hops. Not bitter.

A good variation on an APA.

Added By Act 25. 3rd from brewer. Guests & I agree on this apa - it's great.
A bro can cut either way, a true brother, or a preppy.
a) Apricot opaque body sports lacy, white head.
s) Straw, lemon, wheat, grass.
t) Creamy, clean blending of these, while adding melon, sawdust, woodshop, caramel malt.
f) Creamy, rich.
o) Favorite style - I'd add this. to my top 10 APA list as a contender.
