Tap into a tumbler showing hazy cloudy orange with a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows a lot of orange and papaya. The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Moderately intense flavors of orange and papaya with a gentle citric zestiness. Light and subtle bitterness on the finish. Reminds me a lot of OH’s Space Diamonds without as much intensity or bite.

Draught at the brewery, 4/2/16.
Heavily hazy to borderline soupy golden body is topped by a medium-sized white head that shows moderately-strong retention.
Lovely nose of ripe pineapple, mango, papaya and various easygoing tropical fruits. Some spiciness reminiscent of galaxy and some very strong honey and juice. It all comes together nicely, being quite aromatic with little/no acidity. No stiff pine or grapefruit and no specialty malts bothering things. Alcohol pretty well-concealed with no flaws.
In the mouth it’s juicy, rather sweet at times, though pure honey-like character, no caramel or intense bread. Meyer lemon, some moderate grapefruit and tons of apricot-nectarine mimicking mosaic quite closely. Some dullness on the finish, with yeast and light earthiness. A bit of alcohol and lasting sweetness lingers. Great carbonation levels, however and a soft, malty texture. Would agree with the general "rough-around-the-edges" sentiment.

Can from AFH. Murky hazy dark orange color. It smells insanely good! Bright juicy hops, tons of acidity and even some sweetness. High bitterness that lingers in a very piney almost bark like taste. Has a good up front juicy citrus bitterness. Malt is subdued
