Pours a hazy, orange-peach color, with mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is citrus and tropical fruit, with some mid-level sweetness and a fairly bitter, hoppy finish. More balanced than the last beer of theirs I tried.

Draft at Goldfinger in Hop Butcher's tulip glass. Very hazy yellow color under oatmeal creamy head that dwindles away quickly. Major Citra hop nose. The taste is big on hops, of course, but it's not as much of a bomb as one might expect. Again, slightly creamy mouthfeel, malt keeps up easily with the hop load. Has some pretty good balance for a brewer known for big hop messes.
