Crisp amber and light copper coloured body with a very thin, less than one centimetre off-white head that fades very quickly and barely leaves anything up top or on the sides. Aroma of very strong, but sadly artificial guava and tropically notes from the hops with a big malt backbone and some crisp grainy malts here as well. Medium-bodied; Rich strong tropically flavours dominate with papaya and guava both strong here that ends in some passionfruit tartness, but the hops bring out the enjoyable balance since the malt is supported by some nutty and earthy, slightly grainy notes. Aftertaste shows a good blend of artificial, but strong, tropical fruits with a light bitterness and a good kick of sweetness on the end from all the fruits and some caster sugar, too. Overall, an enjoyable and pungent beer, however, the tropical notes seem to come from artificial elements with a good balance and dryness throughout. Good to have for the first time, especially less than two weeks removed from Hawai`i itself! I sampled this sixteen ounce, full-pint pour on draught at Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) before leaving for home on 21-April-2023 for US$10,00.

Sampled from the tap at the Detroit location. Pours a clear dull gold with a white head that dissipates nearly completely. Aroma has dank citrus and sweet citrus with a bit of mango and light sweet grain underlying. Flavor has passionfruit and mango with a hint of candied citrus and sweet grains.

Dark golden with a large foamy head. Tangy and sweet with passion fruit, orange and pineapple. Long finish. Moderately full bodied

12 ounce can from Woodman's Sun Prairie, 5/30/21. Very hazy orange, large frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of artificial tropical fruit, pale malt, fruity pebbles cereal. Taste is pixie sticks candy, tropical fruit, pale malt. Thin, low bitterness. Doesn't seem artificial per se but it is candy-ish. Meh.

12oz can. Atwater has always kind of sucked, and now they are crafty to boot. I'd have to imagine this one was made at Molson-Coors. Bland and inoffensive, the extract doesn't really jump out at you. For a flavored IPA, it is pretty tolerable. Bland, malty IPA backdrop.
