Score

Ticks: 149

Fortunate Islands combines the bangin' hop aroma of an über-tropical IPA with the crisp, deeply quenching drinkability of a killer pale ale. We achieve this magical result by starting with a mild, nutty malt backbone, then dry-hopping the bejesus out of it with Citra and Amarillo hops. Restrained bitterness and vibrant notes of mango, tangerine, and passionfruit combine to form a sessionable crusher of mind-bending proportions. It tastes like wizards.

Aardige pale ale. Beetje dun alleen. Citra en Amarillo blijven lekkere hopsoorten. Ik zou hier best een double ipa variant van willen, want de smaak die er is, is echt prima.

[On tap at the first birthday party at the Encinitas outlet.] A hazy amber pour with a ring of cream head; tropical fruit aroma; crisp tropical fruit taste, slightly sour and very refreshing; then a dry citrusy finish. Very good.
