Bottle, 10C. Deep reddish amber with a pale beige head. 3+ Big oozing tropical fruit and glazed bun aroma with stinky mango, passionfruit, grapefruit, pine. Then it's rather lighter than suggested by the aroma and appearance - not as sweet nor s malty with as much citrus and spiced pine as dank tropical notes. Finish is almost crunching with fairly strong bitterness that closes the door on the tropical fruit and leaves resin and spices. Medium bodied with lowish carbonation. Interesting beer - certainly not one of those that "showcases" a hop by throwing into a generic recipe.
