On tap at the brewery and then in growler format. Pours a darker orange with some lightly lacing, white head. Nose is very nicely done, tropical fruit candies, orange, mango, light grass, mildly vegetal. Flavor is well balanced between candy sweetness, tropical fruit and citrus, oranges, tangerine here, melon too. Finishes mostly dry and bitter. One of the better beers in their catalog and a bit of a twist on standard Mosaic beers.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a clear, light amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma was sweet, some grapefruit notes, light spicy character. Flavor was similar, sweet malts, some light toasted notes. Not as much in the way of hops as I would have liked - but it was decent.

Tap. Pours pretty hazy copper, large beige head, good lacing. Aroma of tropical dankness, passionfruit, caramel undertone, hint of green tea, guava. Flavor is light plus sweet, a bit muted as compared to aroma. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Solid.
