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.

Hazy, tan. Thin head. Has a light fruity citrus hop character. Super filtered...neutered.. Ok, but sort of a shadow of what it could be.

On tap at BierCraft with Jamey and Brad. Pours clear blond with white head. Aroma, taste and aftertaste are piney and flowery hops. Very good balanced, but quite simple beer.
