Can from the brewery tasting room. Pours hazy/dirty gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is tropical with a pervasive earthy overtone. This is not in the New Zealand quadrant. Wow. Med body plus with a lot of biting/burning/earthy hop. Dryer than not. Damn decently bitter. Someone was either very lucky, or they put a lot of thought into this brew. Very excellent!

Can from the tasting room. Pours rather hazy, dirty gold with a decent white head. Aroma seems dank and quite tropical. Deep inhale and my head spun. Med plus plus body. Flavor is dank and tropical. I'm going with mango, citrus and melon. Lightly roasty malt support. Dry enough, given the juicy tropicality. Lots of fruity hop. Tropical. Nicely bitter. This is really tasty ale!

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is very fruity and very mixed. Tropicals and pale stone. Med body. Flavor has a pricklyness suggesting passion fruit, but there's citrus and pale stone for sure. Mild caramel in support. Not exactly juicy. Not wholly dry for sure. A touch of dank comes and goes. Nice bitterness. Very good flavor.
