Draught at the brewery, 8/17/16.
Bright golden-bronze body shows a gentle haze and a large, well-retained, white head atop.
Fruity nose shows a good balance between both tropical and ctirus fruits and remains quite juicy without getting too "sweet". Maltiness behind seems ample and comforting adding light honey and biscuit. Light pinch of pine adds a bit more strength to the nose, with citrus rind and pineapple lingering. No alcohol or flaw.
Lovely sweetness to the beer, with ample, soft, but well-attenuated malts laying a good base for the strong hoppiness. The bitterness is moderate and balances the malt well as the tropical fruits add plentiful, juicy flavors in concert with moderate citrus and light honey from the malt. Engaging carbonation and very clean, with no alcohol noted. Awesome!

Draft pour pint during my first visit to Old Stove. Golden orange pour with a thin, oily head. Gotta love trying these new experimental hops, especially in a solitary situation. Sugar sweet fruity aroma. Flavor is tropical fruit, hidden behind a dominant malt. Malt over the hop too. Tough to really identify the hop qualities over it. Orange and tropical fruit constant late reminder. Too sweet, and strange on the malt character. Good qualities, but not sold here overall.
