Sample at HopCat Grand Rapids. This beer pours a cloudy orange color with a medium bone white head that recedes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, tropical fruit and hops. Full-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, fruit and earthy hops. The finish is fruity up front with a malty aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
