The beer is a medium orangey amber color. Good clarity. Small white head, mostly fades after a minute. The aroma is packed with tropical fruit and floral hop sweetness. Big on mango, tangerine, rose, honeysuckle, grape, pineapple. Mild honey malt sweetness in the back. Taste is light and sweet with hops. Moderate bitterness, entirely reserved for the finish. It sorta seems a touch sweet but it’s there’s little malt character. It’s just full of sweet hoppiness. Easy to drink. No booze or astringency. Light, moderately oily feel. I sorta prefer their lighter hoppy beers but they make excellent IPAs and DIPAs, so my complaints are meant lightly. This is a tasty beer with tons of excellent hop flavor.
