Thanks to russpowell for sending this lovely my way.
Yellow to gold in color with a solid 2 finger head. Foam presents an almost milky texture before the bubble increase in size, settling to a solid inch. layers of clumpy lacing with good retention.
Nose and flavor start off with lots of tropical notes. Mango, papaya, orange zest, some herbal notes and even a hint of coconut.
Flavor spreads out more tropical offerings before me. Pineapple, mango, orange, papaya, grass, and the coconut almost hints at vanilla.
Finish is dry, slightly bitter, with gentle pillowy texture.

Pours a very hazy & effervescent gold with 2+ fingers of Ivory colored head. Above average head retention & very good lacing

S: Tropical fruits, some citrus & a little grassyness, nose fades a bit once warm

T: Tangerine, dryness, passion fruit & mango up front. some pineapple/orange juice as well. Pineapple/OJ. dryness, Passion Fruit & Guava as this beer warms up, a little Pink Grapefruit too. Finishes dry with much pineapple, some lime & passion fruit.

MF: Medium body, moderate carbonation, stellar balance

Great drinkability, ABV is stealth. Nose & appearance are minor detractors. This Brewery brings it with all their Big Hazy IPAs, no exception
