An easy drinking IPA brewed with malted wheat and flaked oats, hopped in the whirlpool with Amarillo and then dry hopped with Amarillo, Citra, HBC 1019 and Mosaic. While sipping you'll catch aromas of citrus and melon then flavors of coconut, pineapple and blueberry.

From a 16oz can. No date on the can.
This beer is a light golden pouring and murky looking. Thick 3 finger white head. Frothy looking and it has great lacing on the glass.
The aroma is tropical. I get a good pineapple hit off this beer. I also get a malty/grain hint in this beer.
Taste - Tropical in nature. I get a great pineapple hit off the flavor. There's a slight sweetness to it. I also get a good earthy flavor in this beer.
The body is fairly light. I do a bit of a juicy feeling to it.
Not bad at all, and I'm glad I bought it to try.

Appearance: Pours a mostly hazy (15% clarity) medium orange/golden color with a strong, but thin white head. SRM of 7-8. (4.00)
Aroma: Strong aromas of orange and tangerine citrus, some resinous stonefruit and berry with hints of pineapple and coconut. (3.75)
Flavor: Flavor follows with more orange. But also has somewhat of a soapy flavor in the middle. Some tropical melon and berry follows. Clean finish. (3.75)
Feel: Medium-bodied, strong carbonation. Finishes clean, slightly soapy. (3.75)
Overall: A collab between Elm Creek and Portage in Minnesota. Pretty standard hop flavors. A bit lighter leans toward an IPL at 5.5%. Clean, but slightly sudsy flavors that I sometime get from the hops in IPLs. Nice flavors, but I like a little more IPA and less IPL. (Rating: 3.77)
