16oz can (can 4 of the set of 7) picked up at the brewery pours with a hop hazed deep gold body that supports a full tall tan head of foam. The aroma offers up grapefruit, mango, grassiness, tangelo, orange zest and a floral kick at the end of the draw. The taste delivers a nice bitter punch of grapefruit and tangerine blending into a bitter to resiny pine hoppiness. To midway the hops get a little more bitter and resiny before the modest malt backbone is noticed. Into the finish this is mostly bitter grapefruit and some orange zest giving way to a bit more pine hop resiny bitterness here and there. Another sip after it warms reveals a layer of bitter floral hops too. Nice hoppy offering. Would have been great to try really fresh as I think this has some age on it.
