Bottle courtesy of Secret Santa Strykzone, many thanks! Hazy yellow color, large fluffy white head. Nice aroma of fresh pineapple and tropical fruit. Taste has juicy, fruity grapefruit, bitter finish. Nicely balanced. Delicious.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is a decent fruity hop. Nothing over the top but a nice melon comes off the beer. Flavor is more honeydew melon hop with a sweet malty backbone. While you do get a decent hop flavor it is pretty minor letting the malt take over. Schlafly TIPA is a better example of this style Excel really needs to start dating their beers.
