Light gold color and a short but long- lasting, lacing head. Aroma is hops, and more in the flavor. Mild, and it does pull off tje tropical character it promises. Some pineapple and I was surprised to get a little mango. Alcohol is higher than I realized while drinking it. Good beer but I am surprised to see it is rated quite so highly.

Best by 11 Feb 16.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a burnt orange color with a one finger white rocky foamy head that dissipates at a nice steady pace. A thin coat of lace rims around the glass. Carbonation could be seen rising at a nice pace.
The smell starts off with sweet tropical fruits bursting into a bitter to danky onion and grassy hops. The base malt plays in subtly underneath.
The taste was bitter to danky in the beginning with the tropical fruits sliding into the background. Sweet malts stay even further in the background.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation seems to run right as it allows the malt to play with the hops to lay down the bitterness on my tongue appropriately.
Overall, this is a nice AIPA that I wasn’t expecting to be this good. Everything seems to coincide.

Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home on a Friday night before going to a show. Appearance is an amber gold with a moderate white head that nicely laces to the glass. Aroma is definitely tropical, nice citrus and floral notes. Taste goes down with a nice bitterness, tropical fruit flavors come out nicely, good stuff!

Flaska@NK Ölbaren. Ljusgul vätska med mastigt skum. Tropiska dofter som ananas och mango. Mycket fruktig smak där mangon och ananasen får sällskap av grape.
