Hopheads crusade on a heroic quest for the holy grail of India Pale Ales. The subconscious composes paradisiacal scenes of malty waves crashing on a ripe lupulin landscape cascading hop flavors and aromas in profuse abundance. With humble confidence we offer this brew as fantasy made reality. Balanced in every detail and gushing resinous, exceptional citrus flavors and aromas that collaborate with soft bready notes surrendered from premium English golden malted barley, this beer is a tropical dreamscape. Epic.

12 oz can from Tavour. The artwork alone gets this beer points. Medium golden with small soft head. Aroma is fruity, like a tropical Lifesaver. Hops first on the palate, more tropical fruit trailing behind. A bit if a dry finish.
