Draft at the source. Poured a dark brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma was juicy tropical hops. Flavor follows through nicely. Chewy hops, light malts, a nice change from so many malt heavy, overly roasted IBAs.

Tastes of stone fruit, malt, caramel, yeast, banana, herbs, very light rye. Medium body with a dry finish. Solid, could use more rye.
