🐻🍺📆⛴️

16 oz can poured enjoyed at Rock & Brews, Kissimmee. Bright and cloudy golden. Orange appearance. Plenty of loose foam head. Really fragrant tropical nose from a distance. Sharp taste up front, some bitter grapefruit peel like hop character with a balancing, somewhat sturdy grain bill. Has a side of this that just tastes like juice, but gets to a more bold side as it sits on the palate. Pineapple notes. Even the slightest hint of coconut if my brain isn't just making it up. Really refreshing IPA in the heat. Quite nice.

Super crisp peach and orange coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of oranges, honey, crisp malt, a dose of flowers and yeast and a touch of candy and sugars as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and floral notes with some light citrus fruits and a tiny bit of tropical fruits like mangoes, pineapple and guava without any tart notes or real fructose or sweetness from those fruits, but the flavour is there. Aftertaste shows the grassy and crisp malt notes with some light hoppiness and bitter flavours from the hops, but not much of the tropical or stone fruit flavours show through much past the malts. Overall, a decent enough slightly fruity IPA that has crisp notes and a good hit of crisp malts that somehow overpower the hops and bitterness. Nice to sample, but not as fruity or robust as I expected it would be - this almost shows as an APA, since the hop bitterness is non-existant. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 28-April-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 13-July-2020.

On tap at Disney Springs. Pours clear dark golden with a small off-white head, light lacing. Toffee, toasted malts, fruity, pine. Ok

Pounder: Caramel and thistle nose. Clear amber, medium head, little retention. Caramel approaching butterscotch, possibly lemongrass. Medium body, easy carbonation. Not tropical at all. English pale ale, maybe?

$2.95 pint can, Wine Warehouse. Pours golden with a small off-white head. Aroma is sticky resin, much more so than I'd expect from something marketing itself as a tropical IPA, minor pineapple in the undertones. Flavor is stale hops, resin, light pineapple, light citrus. Has flavor, but it's not great. Forgettable.

From a 12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a thin off white head. Fruity nose. Flavors of tropical fruits and citrus. Moderately bitter finish.

Draft - pours yellow white head - nose/taste of tropical fruit, mango, citrus and malt - medium body.

Location: Draft at Revolution Pizza and Ale House, 1/7/14

Aroma: The nose of this one has light citrus hops, with some pale malts
Appearance: It pours a copper-amber color with a decent amount of tan head and lace
Flavor: The taste is along the same lines, with a light hop bitterness and a light sweetness
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has a decently clean feel, with a light dry finish
Overall Impression: This one was just an okay IPA for me. Not bad, just not super interesting either. I wanted to like it more.
