On tap at Scottsdale, pours a clear copper amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out herbal and spicy hops, and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is quite sweet from the hop oils, with a very abrasive palate overall. I was told this would be sweet, but it doesn't seem like an intentional sweetness. Very rough and difficult to drink. Not a fan.

32oz growler, filled at the brewpub, pours with a clear copper body that supports a thin off white head. The aroma offers up malt infused pine hops, a candi sugar like note, mango hard candy and then a modest resiny hop hit at the end of the draw. The taste delivers a smooth mouth full of thick malt nuanced resiny pine hops and a thin juicy mango note. To midway and into the finish it picks up a floral hoppiness as well as a caramel sweetness that’s a bit distracting. It starts with a nice chewy nearly resiny hop bitterness and then becomes a bit juicy with tropical fruitiness and then at the end a caramel note kind of derails the experience a bit.
