Slight haze, pale, medium head. The aroma is strangely pineapple, also mandarin. The palate experience kicks off with pale malt, moderate bitterness, that same mandarin orange. The hop character is quality, and unique in its sweet fruits, but the malt isn’t as good as it needs to be…slightly lacking brightness. I wouldn’t mind a bit more bitterness either, but it’s still good.

Flight pour at brewery. Pours almost clear blonde with white head. Aroma has pine, mango, light citrus. Flavour has bitter pine, some bright dank oils, somewhat juicy stonefruit. Pretty decent, nice and brights hops, though a bit on the tame side.

On tap at Strange Fellows, pours a hazy dull golden with a small white head. Aroma has some spicy hops, light pine, a touch of stone fruit zest, and cereal malt. Flavour is fairly fruity, with melon, stone fruit, some bitter pine, light spiciness to the hops, and toasted grains. Fairly bright, reasonably fruity, not much residual bitterness. Pleasant enough, but a bit lacklustre and lacking cohesion.
