Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a nearly clear deep gold body that has copper hues and supports a full almost tight light tan head of foam. The aroma has a pretty nice mix of pine, mango, pineapple, cantaloupe and the modest sweet malty base. The taste starts smooth and approachable where the sweet malt base blends in with a brief hoppy citrus juiciness. The to midway the hop bitterness and resiny pine hop notes lined thinly with onion spiciness take over the experience. Toward the finish the hops reveal additional facets of pineapple and cantaloupe but remain firmly bitter to the end.
