Huge aromas of bright passion fruit, pineapple and grapefruit will lead the charge from the Hallertau Blanc hops, while the Hull Melon hops will yield balancing floral honeydew melon and strawberry notes.

22oz bomber pours with a clear copper to gold colored body that supports a light tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up sort of funky thin strawberry like notes, a soured lime sensation and then faint cantaloupe off in the background. The taste delivers soft strawberry and honey dew melon floating above a fairly tame yet persistent sour lightly tart lime like character. It gets a bit more soured and bitter midway and into the finish. As it warmed just a tad I picked up a pleasing light malty breadiness giving this a needed malty base to help keep it cohesive. Pretty nice with a pleasing balance and refreshing quality.

Hazy blond with chunky head. Aroma has lots of tropical fruit hop. Tastes quite bitter with resinous hop. The name suggests something altogether more fruity.
