Draught at the brewery, 8/17/16.
Slightly more amber-copper to it than the Crikey, with the similar slight haze and staunch, white head.
Tropical indeed but with plentiful citrus and a much more sparse maltiness behind it. The relative lack of sweet malts actually makes this seem a little less juicy than the crikey, despite its attempt at being moreso. Still, it’s clean, with lots of greenery, spiciness and succulent pineapple and no alcohol.
Somewhat dry, with lots of grapefruit up front turning to spicy, tangy pineapple. Cracker and biscuit malts divulge only a bit of sweetness, while apricot and more grapefruit linger on the finish. Good, supportive/engaging carbonation and a strong dryness with fair bitterness. Liked the Crikey more (it felt more New Englandy to me....) but this is still quite drinkable.

Tap at Hamamatsu. Citrus nose, tropical fruits, light caramel. Amber-orange color. Flavors of caramel, stone fruits, some tropical but not as much as the name would imply. Decent but not so special.
