Can from Bine & Vine. Geoi has quite the knack for acquiring great beers. So fingers xd on this one. Pours translucent gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is a mix - lots of tropicals - hint of garlic. Med body. Flavor is for me garlic first - then green melon, citrus, and gooseberry. I'm sure I'm missing many fruits - this is complex ale. Pretty dry; very hoppy; more than moderately bitter. Wow. Excellent!

Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a somewhat hazy deep gold body that has thin copper hues and supports a nice white head of foam. The aroma offers up lightly blunted fruity notes of mango and cantaloupe and grapefruit. The taste delivers mango, guava, cantaloupe and then tangier warm guava. This has fairly intense flavors with lots of soft sweet juiciness and bitter grapefruit to vaguely pine hoppiness. This one is a little rough around the edges but good.
