Packed with hop flavor and aroma, we double dry hop this beer with equal parts Mosaic, Citra, and Azacca hops, for an intensely tropical profile reminiscent of tangerine, nectar, papaya, peach, kiwi, and pineapple.

Gold pour. Citrus nose. Pink grapefruit, orange, grapefruit, and a tad taste of pineapple. Grapefruit palate. A nice Florida beer. Makes me think of all the great citrus fruits and juices from Florida

Slightly hazy copper and bronze coloured body, all with a nice three centimetre tall tan head that stays afloat for a long time. Aroma of grass, hay, light malt, cardboard and a dose of light alcohol with a dose of flowers at the finish. Medium-bodied; Strong astringent hop bite at first that shows some alcohol and a good bitterness from the hops that show some grapefruit and more hay than anything else, with a dash of grain and a strong yeast string and ending with a very dry, and of course bittering hop profile. Aftertaste shows the bitter hops with the citrus and light dry notes at first with a good malt backbone and some pungent, but distinct flavours at the end. Overall, a strong and pungent, but very well-balanced IPA that shows a strong citrus and dry hop note, with some very light sugars from apricots and oranges at the end, as well. A nice beer, although with many more options, there probably are better, but this isn't a bad choice. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 19-April-2019 for US$2,18 sampled in my hotel room here in Prince Frederick, Maryland on 15-September-2019.

Pale gold with a fleeting white head. Aroma full of tangerines. Taste is bittersweet, full of citrus. Bitter at the end but still balanced by a fruity sweetness. Medium body, balanced carbonation. A good one.
