Very crisp and clear copper and soft golden coloured body with a thinnish, two centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a long time and leaves a very nice lace on the sides. Aroma of slight skunk with a big grassy and herbal kick and some floral notes, but the skunkiness at the end is very strong as well as the yeast, which is noticeable as well. Medium-bodied; Relatively crisp grassy and slightly herbal flavours with some perfumey hop characteristics and a little bit of a caster sugar sweetness near the end that brings some balance to the dryness and the bitterness. Aftertaste shows a crisp and refined finish with a lot of grassy and lemoney flavours and some subdued biscuity malts with the nice sweetness and a noticeable, but nowhere close to 10 per cent stength. Overall, a nice and crisp beer that has a lot of flavours and hits well throughout without much complexity here. Great to try, especially on tap and super fresh. I sampled this ten ounce pour on draught from Equinox Brewery/Taproom in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado on 31-January-2022 for US$6,00.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy orange with small frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong tropical fruit and dank hop. Medium body, grapefruit, mango, lingering bitterness, very good.

On tap @ Equinox. Pours a pretty hazy, bright yellow orange appearance with a cream colored head. Slightly dank, a bit spicy hoppy aroma with a fair amount of tropical fruity and smartees notes. Not entirely unenjoyable flavor despite being kind of goopy sweet and fairly bitter. Some pine and fruity flavors. Quite a bit of lingering bitterness. Needs some work.
