Soak up the sun, toss a tiki umbrella in your glass, and get down with Hawaiian Lounge Juice. The sweet-tart blend of passionfruit and mango, kissed with the pineapple and orange aromas of Azacca and Citra hops, make for a deceptively drinkable IPA.

12 ounce bottle - $3.49 at Total Wine & More in Alpharetta, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a yellow-orange body, a touch of haze to it, with a smallish, sudsy, near-white head. Scant bit of lacing.
Smell: Middlingly tropical nose, some pineapple, g-fruit and p-fruit with an underlying gooseberry Mosaic vibe.
Taste: Lightly grainy, lightly bready malts with a faint caramel sweetness and a soft cushioning of added raw grain. Tangy-tasting tropical fruits, citrus with some herb and gooseberry. Moderate bitterness combines with a peppery hotness for the finish. Hawaiian Lounge Juice, huh? I'm not buying it.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Overall: A little tangy, a little tart and a little coarse, frankly. I'm sorry, I'm starting to get burned out on the ever ubiquitous Mosaic. The Sterno canned heat hit of alcohol didn't win me over, either.

Straight forward tropical fruit!
Papaya and Guava dominate, with a little bit of piney bitterness late. Pretty damn awesome of a beer.

12oz bottle served in a large snifter. Filled 05/25/17. Given to me by @mr-jj.
Pours a slightly hazy bronze color with a small head and medium to low carbonation. Smell is fruity, overripe tropical fruits.
Taste is much crisper than I expected -- strong tropical fruit, but with a nice bite and not too much sweetness or maltiness.
Mouthfeel is much more effervescent than I expected based on the appearance. Overall, it's a good beer.
