Pours a hazy, orange-pineapple, with smallish head. Aroma is quite pungent upfront, with a strong garlic/green onion note, followed by waves of tropical fruit and some citrus. Flavors all follow, with a light underlying sweetness that helps to clarify things. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Mild levels of hop bitterness in the finish. Wow!
