Tap at Cap Hop. Pours brassy gold with a white head. Aroma is dankly tropical. Med + body. Flavor is juicy tropical - mango/passionfruit/maybe citrus. It’s also dank. With effort there’s resin/pine - arguably. Bitter. Not all that dry - cause of fruit. Bitter layers the tongue. Heat not a taste issue. Could be a head issue. Great stuff.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated 12/28/2017. Aroma is very fruity and hop forward with light cracker malt and grain notes. Light alcohol notes. Super fruity with mango, papaya, passion fruit and melon. Light stone fruit, citrus and hints of dank notes. Pours a fairly clear, gold color with a medium large, medium thick, frothy, white head that recedes slowly to the edges edges where it lingers. Moderate lacing and medium small legs. Flavor has a medium light sweetness with some cracker malt notes. Moderate bitterness and some light alcohol notes. Less hops than in the aroma but still tons of mango, papaya, melon and passion fruit. Hints of citrus, pear and peach as well. Light resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low, but present alcohol warmth. Overall, a surprisingly nice, hop forward and fruity beer. This is a really nice, fruity IPA but it doesn't necessarily remind me of Kush. Still one of the best,non hazy IPAs I have had recently.
