Some lighter citrus and pineapple. Light cracker malt backbone. Pours a hazy, golden straw color with a large, moderately thick, slightly off white head that shows nice retention as it falls into itself. High lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with a medium light cracker malt note. Moderately strong to strong bitterness. Lots of hop flavor with tropical fruit, especially mango and some lighter melon and passion fruit. Some light citrus and medium light dank notes. A hint of alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very nice IPA. Lots of juicy, tropical fruit notes with some balanced citrus and dank notes. Good, light malt backbone to carry all the hop notes.
