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.

Can. Pours a clear gold with a sudsy white head. Aromas of light lemon and a little other citrus. Flavor is a bit watery at times (front and mid palate, especially), with a resin and nectarine pit finish. Decent.

[12oz can from Jerry's Foods, Sanibel, FL.] A pale amber pour with a ring of white head; light tropical fruit aroma; firmer tropical fruit taste, with lots of sweet orange juice; then lacking finish.

Thin but juicy, can tell from the color even that it's light and thin. Light lager meets juicy.

Can. A- Grassy, pine, bitter, citrus. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Caramel, biscuits, bitter, grassy, citrus. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- An old school style in a world filled with new and weird takes on IPA's. As much as I don't care for things like this, it was actually a bit refreshing in the sense that it was true to style roots. Lots of caramel malt and some grassy bitterness. Okay.

Another beer where I don't know why it gets such a high score. Aromas are pine resin and pale malt. Flavors are similar to nose bittersweet simple and straightforward. Decent body slightly bitter finish.

Can from Sam's Quik Shop. Pours hazy golden with a soft off-white head. Juicy citrus, resin, pine, earth nose. Flavor is smooth citrus - not exactly juicy but not bitter peel either, caramel, light vanilla, pine. Feels somewhat tropical without the pineapple, mango, etc flavors necessarily standing out. Nice.
