Keg at the three johns during the tap takeover. Mostly clear golden coloured pour with a lasting white head. Aroma is big tropical fruit, lemon mango and passion fruit. Really fresh hop on the nose. Flavour is composed of pretty clean malts, little rustic straw, grape, mango, sharp citrus hop. Maybe some galaxy and nelson sauvin. Palate is quite crisp, highish carbonation, little hop resin on the tongue and a drying finish. Impressed with this one. Assertive clean hop bitterness as well.
