Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a crystal clear copper body that has gold hues and supports a thin off white head. The aroma is pulsing with fresh malt nuanced lime juice and flowery floral hops with faint tropical fruity hop notes in the background. The taste is soft to start where the palate is sacked by robust levels of juicy limes, malt sweetened lime peel and a wide load of floral hops. It gets a little bitter to midway with mild pineapple and grapefruit like hops but the lime and floral notes give up very little ground. Wow. This is a crazy lime and floral hop forward beer.

Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a clear pure gold body that supports a thin white head that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up full tangerine citrus hops, a dash of mango as well as a bit of a resiny hoppiness that’s sort of pine hop like. The taste starts kind of bright with tangerine and near grapefruit like citrus hop bitterness and then it slides into more of the malt base as well as a pleasing thin mango juiciness. This only gets better as it warms. Lovely easy drinking brew that isn’t too heavy or juicy but delivers just the right amount of hop bitterness.
