Poured up on tap at the brewpub (Aug.2017) where it is a near clear gold body that supports a lasting white head of foam that leaves behind some sheet lacing. The aroma offers up a blend of tangelo, mango and tangy warm cantaloupe. The taste delivers smooth soft yet thick sweet juicy mango and cantaloupe. Oh yeah. Initially behind juiciness are bitter grapefruit citrus hop notes creating a nice balance with the smooth soft juiciness. Toward the finish the citrus hop bitterness fades leaving firm booze boosted juicy notes to run amuck. Into the finish a nice wafer thin cracker like maltiness comes to the surface really pulling this together into a pleasing finish. Solid IIPA.

Draught @ Festival of Dankness, San Diego. Aroma is somewhat mild with some sweet pineapple juice tones. Flavour has gluey tones, some pineapples and grapefruit. Not that great but at least drinkability is ok.
