Can from Cap Tap. Pours translucent gold with a large white head. Aroma is mango/apricot. Med body. Flavor is mango, plum, apricot with a little hint of pine or similar. Fruity, nearly juicy, but dry. Caramel support, but not sweetly so. Very hoppy in a smooth way. Bitter in more than a moderate way. Tastes grest.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours hazy, somewhat dirty, gold with a large foamy white head that descended into froth. Aroma is dankly citrus and tropical. Med plus body. Flavor initially has a hay flavor, then reveals dankness and burning hop - mostly citrus, but I think passion fruit and green melon could be in it. Somewhat juicy, yet still reasonably dry. Bitter. Lots going on with this. Good ale.

Draft. An unclear golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of hops, citrus fruits, malt, and apricots. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, citrus fruits, apricots, malt, and spices, leading to a bitter finish.
