Pour is a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is a pithy tropical fruit. Not a huge blast of fruit but just enough let you know it's going in the tropical direction. Flavor is more of both fruit additives. You get some mango and passionfruit. Even though this is a 8% beer this is more of a pale ale than anything. Very refreshing but light in flavor. Usually fruited IPA's aren't my thing but when you use both mango and passionfruit you got me this time.

Solid fruity IPA, piling chunks of mango and passionfruit on top of a nice citra IPA, mixing tropical notes with grapefruit, earth, and modest pine on the back end. Malts add a hint of grainy sweetness and a cracker base, while the fruit juice gives depth to the middle. Never grows sweet, and the finish is a nuance blend of mango/passionfruit tart notes and a dry, bitter fade. Pours clear gold with a brief white head and spotty lacing. Perky texture and medium body make for good summer drinkin'. Seems like it could use more fruit on the nose, but the Citras come through, at least. Not bad.

Bottle. Mostly clear orange with a white head. Aroma of passion fruit, light citrus. The flavor is well balanced with juicy tropical fruit and firm bitterness to balance. Medium body, alcohol well hidden.

Bottle from Craft Brewed. Pours a clearish gold with a fluffy one-finger head that lingers. Huge dank nose with passion fruit, guava pineapple dominating. Mango and passionfruit palate w/ grapefruit zest on the finish, dank & zesty. This is really good.
