Hazy golden, creamy head. Smells like peach mango you-name-it sweet fruit juice, little resins left, little über-fresh hops oils - seems a little over-conditioned (but I guess the crowd loves this. Hints of bready malts. The taste shifts away from the fruit and towards the resins - a little orange pulp, more orange peel and pith. Quite a bit of mouth coating zesty bitterness, while staying soft and approachable, and, more importantly, crisp and quenching. In the end, it is, thankfully not yet another fruit juice, but midway between New England and West Coast (Mid west, I guess ;-)). Excellent.
