Poured up on tap at Refuge where it exhibits a deep gold body that has thin copper hues and supports a light tan head that leaves behind spotty lacing. The aroma offers up grapefruit and tangelo hops that are sweetened a bit by thin maltiness and a bit of mango seems to be lurking in there as well. The taste starts with a pretty decent body and then unleashes grapefruit and tangelo and tangerine like citrus hoppiness that bleeds into more bitter to slightly resiny hop notes to midway. Then it sweetens up a tad to help bring on the full fruity hop flavor and modest bitterness into the finish. This is a wonderful session beer. A few more ounces consumed and a bit warmer brew I start to pick up some spicy hops that are a just a bit dank and earthy tea like. Wow. I love the body and harmonious hops.
