We started off with our favorite malt base and added lots of fluffy wheat and oats. Whirlpool and dry hop additions of Citra and fresh Riwaka from New Zealand. We get huge flavors of ruby red grapefruit juice, papaya, lychee, and sticky mango.

Pours a lightly hazy, pale lemon-tea color, with smallish head (doesn't look all that great, actually). Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, a bit dusty overall. Flavors follow, more pronounced, and somehow, more delicious (this stuff tastes really good). Mouthfeel seems a touch thin. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish. I liked it.

16 oz can. Aroma is oranges, papaya, house yeast. Flavor follows with the addition of pineapple notes. Mouth feel is soft with a pillow-like texture. Plenty of juice. This is an old can (5 months old) and it still taste great! No sugary sweetness is found.

Yarde Tavern draught, 9/28/24. Heavily hazy, borderline milky-turbid. Solid, small, off-white head. Fruity, juicy, spicy, tropical nose with an almost creamed-honey-like maltiness that perfectly balances. Clean, bright, very aromatic and wonderfully-expressive hops. In the mouth it's just as incredible. Soft, supple, perfectly malty and attenuated, comforting and drinkable, with bright, juicy, fruity and spicy hops. Incredible balance that this brewery does like few others. Insanely drinkable.
