Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL, enjoyed at home on one of the last nights in February, getting ready for warmer weather soon! Appearance is a clean amber gold with a moderate frothy white head. Aroma is abundant with pineapple as well as mango, very nice. Taste goes down like Sculpin with a lot of pineapple notes, not necessary juice like which is nice, maintains a bitter finish. Nicely done.

Bottle from Bert’s That works so much better than I thought it would. Resinous pine and fresh pineapple juice with a faint bready malt deep underneath.

12oz bottle pours with a crystal clear gold body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma pulses with sweet pineapple fruitiness as well as thin ribbons of bitter citrus tangerine and grapefruit like hoppiness. The taste is similar where lots of pineapple hits with bitter citrus hops around the edges. The hops take on a faint citrus candy sensation from time to time and accompany an occasional cracker like maltiness. Plenty of pineapple going on here so if that works then this is a “go”

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 2/8/2016. Pours fairly crystal clear golden orange color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big juicy pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, honey, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/tropical/pine hops, pineapple, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, honey, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine/citrus rind/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, peach, mango, lemon/orange peel, pine, honey, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/pine hops, pineapple, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Good amount of dryness from bitterness as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and moderately sticky/resinous mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent fruited IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/pine hops, pineapple, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

12 oz bottle poured into a Spiegelau tulip. Clear golden orange with just over a finger of off-white head. Aromas of big pineapple fruit and juice mostly, subtle floral. Tastes of pineapple, citrus, floral notes. Medium body with a dry finish. Juicy mouthfeel. Nice enough but not something I’d seek out over the original.
