From a can with the ABV listed as 5.8%. It pours a murky orange with a large white head. Aroma is all fruity hops. Peach and maybe even some strawberry. Flavor is again a nice fruity hop but the mouthfeel is a bit thick. This is kind of like drinking a fruity milkshake. It looks like this beer was being made way before NE style IPA's became popular so perfect timing for this brewer to can this beer. Solid beer but a bit too thick.

Draft at the brewery taproom. Pours lightly hazy yellow-gold with a thick, frothy white head. Dense, dank tropical fruits in the aroma, big mango and papaya, some apricot. Light-medium sweet flavor with loads more juicy tropical fruits, balanced pale malt sugars, ripe fruits. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Great balance on the finish, with more tropical fruit notes, some pissy hops, more mango and apricot. Lovely.

[2/18/15] Draught at Bootlegger’s Brewery in Fullerton. Murky yellow. Lovely hoppy aroma of a tropical fruits salad. Sweetish flavor with fruity hops and moderate bitterness. Medium-bodied. Really nice.

On tap at the taproom. An unclear yellow to orange beer with a small white head. The aroma has citrus peel, cat pee and pine cones. Some malty sweetness in the mouth, dealt with by a good bitterness. Tropical fruits and orange peel too. Medium to full body and a soft carbonation. Lasting finish. Best so far from this brewery. 130813

Draught at the Brewery. Aroma of citrus hops, grapefruit and some tropical stuff, light malt, Crisp, clean malt character with good hops and a nice but not insane bitterness. Good stuff.
