A fluffy white head with solid lacing on a light amber body. The nose is hop led with grapefruit, kiwi, a little booze and bready malt. The taste is a nice blend of hops, including kiwi and other tropical fruit, orange rind, and citrus hops. Supported by bready malt with a touch of brown sugar. The finish is citrus and rind, but not out of balance.

Growler: Poured a bright hazy amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of resinous hops with some grapefruit notes and light cereal notes is quite pleasant. Taste is also a mix of resinous hops with some grapefruit and tropical fruit notes with light rubbery notes in the aftertaste. Body is about average with good carbonation. Very intertying mix of hops but there are faint rubbery notes which somewhat bothered me.

A hazed golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light funky herbaceous character, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, grapefruit pulp, alcohol warmth, very nice and smooth. On tap at brewery.
