On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with medium white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is mango, apricot, pine. Slick body, stone fruit, mango, light bitterness, juicy, very nice.

Draught at the brewery, 9/21/17.
Moderately-to-heavily hazy, copper-golden-amber with a frothy, white head showing moderate retention.
Lots of acidity in the nose comes off as qutie a bit more austere and "bitter" than expected with less juicy, bright fruit notes. With warming it softens somewhat, despite the cracker-like malt being very sparse beneath. Fruit notes are light and very much integrated with the hops; not sure I would even know this had actual fruit in it, from the nose. No flaw or alcohol, though a bit of grapefruit pith and pine resin building up on the end.
It fares better in the mouth, thankfully. Certainly still quite dry with some booze and resin, showing its very young age, but growing lightly sweet through the middle and adding some bright, juicy apricot-mango notes. Fair bit of maltiness to the texture helps, as well. Engaging carbonation, no flaw.
