Tap @ Beer-Ma Kanda. Creamy orange pour with some white bubbles on the top. Juicy tropical nose, light acidity, bit of velvet grassiness. Tastes grassy and creamy malty at the same time. Medium bitterness, some NE feel to it - but not exactly what it is supposed to be. Grassy-hoppy, still good.

Sample at Arizona Strong Beer Festival 2019. Hazy golden/yellow with a small white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, some tropical fruit. The same in the taste, also light malt and some pine. The body was medium as was the bitterness.

Super deep bronze and orange coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall pure white head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of grass, hay, mangoes, papaya and some other light fruits with a dash of resin and light sugars towards the end as well. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very dry flavours with a lot of resin and tropical fruit notes along with the light and non-bittering hop elements which show some good ranging complexities that end in a herbal bite from the hops and light malt at the very end. Aftertaste shows some of the sweetness from fruit juice with a lot of robust malty characteristics with a pleasant complexity throughout and showing some good herbal flavours at the tail end, all with a lot of sweetness for the style. Overall, a nice offering that has quite the range with a lot of tropical notes and a pleasant sweetness that makes it a nice variance for the style and well worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on fraught at the Lincoln Brewpub in Lincoln, Nebraska on 06-November-2018 for US$6,00.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out fairly dry piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops, crisp biscuity malt and light tropical fruiting. Piney, fruity and crisp. Not particularly well-balanced but it works well.
