Draught at the brewery, 1/19/18.
Moderately-to-heavily hazy, though not approaching soupy. Deep bronze-maize and an off-white head atop showing moderate to moderately-low retention.
Soft mango-citrus-pineapple with a bit of malt showing biscuit and honey. Very light, bright and without any resin, pine or alcohol. Malt continues to emerge more prominently as it warms and breathes with more lime and mango coming to the forefront, as well. Not incredibly juicy, but yet still quite elegant with no strong yeast nor any flaw.
In the mouth it's insanely soft, malty, dry and very hard to accept that it's 8%abv. Tastes much closer to 5% with no aggressive notes whatsoever and just soft, honey and biscuit-like malts for days, with lime-mango and light tropical notes adding moderate juiciness. Just a hint of bitterness, though enough to keep it refreshing and balanced. Lovely.
