On tap at the brewery. It's an opaque, dark yellow with no sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with excellent retention and nice sticky soapy lacing. Aroma is strong citrus over grapefruit. Taste is citrus but a little restrained and some pine and herb as well. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, decent complexity and good strength of aroma and taste.

Murky, cloudy orange-brown body; huge, off-white, pillowy head. Nose floral and spicy with stone fruits and papaya. Body complex, creamy, and soft, with melon, strawberry, bubblegum, tobacco, and some grassy-spicy dank elements. Very good.

16 oz. can. Aroma is mango, passion fruit leading to light pineapple. Flavor is the same Alcohol is well-concealed and doesn't cut too much in to the hop flavor. In the mouth it's soft and juicy yet shows enough bitterness and light herb to keep it balanced and not overly sweet.
