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.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is a fruity hop with a little white sugar and some honey malt. Flavor is a decent melon like the bottle told me along with a honeysuckle. The hops don’t have the normal pop that American hops give off. These are more laid back and not as bitter. This is decent and unique with two hop varieties I’ve never heard of before.

22 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma is dry, with earthy and herbal hops, and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is identical, with earthy and herbal hops, with biscuity dry malt. Well-balanced, with a dry earthy finish. Nothing crazily impressive but it's well-made.

Draft at Sunset Grill and Tap. Mostly hazy gold, thick lasting head retention. Maybe served a tad cold, mild melon and hints of tropical fruits.
I get a good amount of floral hops through out the sip. The bitterness is in the form of grapefruit and grass. Assertive bitterness with a light note of alcohol in the finish. Alcohol is more notable as it warms. Still pretty nice.

On tap at Artistic Table. It pours a clear light orange/gold color with a creamy off white head. The aroma is potent up front with lime, citrus and lemongrass. Hints of mango, passionfruit and florals. A little sweet. The flavor is strong and hoppy with flowers, a little grass, passionfruit and white grapes. A little on the sweet side with some honey on the palate. Very light in maltiness though with a strong floral bitterness. Tasty stuff.

Bomber to tulip. Funky melon and wheat with moderate citrus aroma. Hazy orange with full white head. Flavor is juicy and bubble gum, with slight horse blanket or grape musk in the back half. Crisp.

Keg at Aptos Street BBQ, Santa Cruz, 02/02/16. Very lghtly hazed golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is melon, tangerine, straw, orange pith, light pine. Taste comprises soft feshy citric notes, toasted malt, mandarin, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with floral hop bitterness. Average DIPA, not bad but doesn’t set my beer world alight.

Keg at Aptos St. BBQ. Pours cloudy gold with a lasting, creamy white head. Bready pale malts in the nose, some white grape, melon, vague tangerines. Light to medium sweet flavor with a decent boozy kick, lots of piney and grassy bitterness, dried gummy candies. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish, with strong bitterness. A bit rough on that finish.
