Tap. Pours hazy golden, medium creamy white head, dissipates slowly, good lacing. Aroma is light, tropical, papaya, Grapefruit. Flavors is also light, light sweet, light bitter, tropical fruit notes. Medium body, almost in the heavy side, creamy mouthfeel. This is a solid first effort, could use more pop to really shine. Basically there are some incongruities here. The flavor profile and wateriness is more suited to a 4% session, but the thick mouthfeel and 6% ABV demand more aromatics to back them up. Fix one or the other and this is a quality product.
