Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a slightly hazy gold body that supports a thin dirty white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up grapefruit zest, grapefruit and a floral hop sensation. The taste delivers a blend of juicy malt sweetened grapefruit and bitter grapefruit and bitter pith and zest notes. This works pretty well as and toward the finish a modest level of bitter floral hops bubble to the surface.

Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a clear deep gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The mild aroma offers up a pulse of vaguely pine hops growing into a bit of a distracting sweet bread notes. The taste delivers a blend of sweet bread, candied citrus and thin pine and grapefruit hops. Interesting but not good.

Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a cloudy near opaque gold body that supports a thin bright white head of foam. The aroma offers up grapefruit tart candy, guava and then faint cantaloupe and mango. The taste delivers bitter grapefruit and some thin bitter lemon lime notes. Toward midway it picks up thin soft mango and cantaloupe. Pretty nice stuff.

Pint can pours with a murky opaque dull gold to copper body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up peach, tangerine, pineapple and then a vanilla note. The taste delivers tangy and juicy tangerine, peach and pineapple. It moves into a realm of increasing sweet vanilla and somehow even tangier citrus fruitiness. The vanilla and tanginess isn't really going together perfectly. Slightly older samples of this were getting just far too sweet.

Draught at Shady Park, 3/10/18.
Glassy, to slightly cloudy, copper-amber with no head.
Guess this one sat on tap too long? Smells liked over-boiled, old hops, bread, veggies and strong resin.
In the mouth it's fairly dry, at least, though shows too little base malt, tons of specialty malt bread-like character and bitter, vegetal, old, sour hop notes. Resinous and sharp, with spoiled fruit and veggies. Carbonation is low, somewhat loose.

Pint can pours with a murky gold body that has thin copper hues and supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up sweet cantaloupe blended with pink grapefruit, floral hops, pineapple mango and must star fruit or something. Theres a mild earthy funky feet thing going on here; and I'm fine with it. The taste delivers an array of smooth sweet fruity flavors such as cantaloupe, sweetened pink grapefruit, papaya, mango and a faint funky star fruit sensation. Overall this is nice with minimal hop bitterness but bordering on being too sweet.

Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a clear copper gold body that supports an off white head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy, grassy to woody like hops with a smattering of citrus hoppiness toward the end of the draw. The taste delivers a pleasing refreshing clean and crushable level of hop bitterness, thin hop flavor and faint maltiness. The hop bitterness isn't huge but it dominates with spicy, grassy and woody hops leading into some bitter grapefruit. Behind the hop bitterness is a thin malt sweetened layer of juicy citrus hop flavor. Solid brew.
