Bottled, thanks Craig! Lighjtly hazy pale amber, minimal head. Huge perfumy hop aroma with plenty of tropical fruits. Sweet and near full bodied with soft mouthfeel and plenty of warmth. Doughy malt and seemless perfumy tropical fruit hops. The bitterness is actually quite balanced in a finish with honey and white pepper.

On tap at Drake’s Barrel House pouring up clear deep gold with near bright white head. The aroma is sweet holy hell drool inducing goodness from big yummy bold grapefruit, tangelo, clementine and orange peel notes mixing with a faint sweet maltiness pulling this together in the background. The taste is big bold near brash and fully YUM certified with chewy rich malt sweetened grapefruit and tangelo like hop flavors that roll into robust levels of citrus hop resiny bitterness creating a pleasing yet less sessionable sensation, Wow wow. It seems the resiny hop bitterness can also be pine like in its bitterness. Damn!
