Pouring a light gold/orange color, the medium body of this beer is a beautiful platform to carry flavors of passion fruit, papaya, honeydew, and rounded out by flavors of fleshy mangos; finished with a light-and-delightful bitterness. The aroma stands tall as a tropical fruit medley!
Originally brewed for the anniversary of our friends The Highroller Lobster Co; we made a KILLER beer to celebrate their dedication to the Decadent Decapod (aka delicious lobster!!) This double dry hopped IPA features the perfectly paired Citra and Amarillo hops.

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Thanks Tom! Aroma is lemon, peel, mango skin, plus a little bit of pepper. The flavor follows with a background of bready malt. Shows a tiny bit of sugar like sweetness with a proper hop bitterness. Quite nice!

Can pour from Andover Classic Wines. A cloudy, dark yellow with nice sparkle, finger-width foamy head with good retention and nice sudsy lacing. Aroma is strong passion fruit, mango. Taste follows aroma though not as strong, distinct. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and yeasty, lightly bitter finish. Not their best but well made.

Undated can, drunk 5/18/23. Heavily hazy, pale, white-golden-brass. Large, frothy, white head, well-retained. Sulfur, mineral, white wine, earth, yep that's nice. I'd buy starfruit, maybe even some kiwi. Definitely a lovely mix of Austra-NZ hops with light honey and sparse, crackery malts. Clean yeast, no resin, flaw, alcohol. Soft, juicy, malty, round, big malt texture with pretty good attenuation and lots of earth and sulfur. Some wood, spice, vegetal notes, coriander and light white bread and vanilla. Soft, thick, rich. It's like a bevy of NZ hops with Mosaic-like notes, as well, unfortunately. A bit simplistic malt elements providing white bread and moderate sugar. Pushing it on the sweetness, could probably use a bit more bitterness/acidity.
