Bottle from Craft Brewed. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of soapy foam that dissipates quickly. Light citrus nose. Maybe some apricot and peach. Very light on the palate, bit thin. Low bitterness. Doesn’t stand out really.

Bottle: Nearly clear gold with a chunky, off-white head. Pineapple, melon, tropical aroma. Flavour is sweet, papaya, pineapple, grapefruit. A little bit of spicy peel-bitter. Light, but juicy and tasty.

Bottle best by 10/2 > IPA glass A: Clear pale gold with 1" of thick white foam. Good retention and thick patches of lace. S: Nice dry white grapefruit and pith aroma. T: Bitter and dry with citrus pith and zest dominating. Faint sweet bread to finish. Good flavor but not all that tropical. M: Crisp and light bodied with strong carbonation tingle and clean dry finish. O: Quite good at an approachable ABV. I’ll buy more of this while it’s around.

Okay IPA, big on citrus and papaya and passion fruit hop flavors, yet lacking much malt depth and in dire need of a beefier back end. Starts with a tropical citrus salad, but the cracker malts feel weak against these bright hop notes, and the beer peters out about three-quarters of the way through, leading to a lifeless session IPA-ish finish. Needs more soul.
