Tap at Cap Hop. Pours copper with a near white head. Aroma of pale stone fruits and caramel. Med body. Flavor starts quite English, than wanders off a bit into slightly toasty malt and some floral fruits. A few quaffs later it wanders back to very English. Maybe a tad more bitter than the over the pond versions, but very nice.

16oz can pours with a totally opaque paper straw gold body that supports a thin white head. The aroma offers up mango, cantaloupe, guava, grapefruit and oat. The taste delivers a juicy and bitter blend of mango, cantaloupe, grapefruit and then some oat notes. To midway it picks up a sweet home note and tangy tangelo. This really comes together nicely. I could drink a ton of this.

Tap at Cap Hop. Read the first rating and it has me smelling orange crush, a little, but I think there's pineapple. Med + body. Flavor is juicy mixed fruit - mostly citrus? Orange IMHO. But I think there's tropicals with some light pineapple for sure. Not very dry, but clearly bitter. Overall I'd say juicy tropicals with some green melon coming up with time. It's certainly not trying to be a barley wine. :)

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours brassy gold with a white head. Aroma is very tropical with lots of fruit and some citrus - it isn't strongly dank for me, but brings that clearly to mind. Med body. It's a bit juicy. Flavors are very mixed, but tropical and citrus are clearly present. Fairly dry. Moderately bitter. Delicious. Maybe on my top 10 list for desert island beer.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma of citrus and pale stone fruits with something a bit herbal/hop green. Med body. Flavor is with the aroma, but slightly juicy. Malt seems lightly roasty. Fairly dry and pleasingly bitter. Nice drink.

This beer pours a hazy orange-amber color with a medium thick white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Tropical fruit, hops and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of dank hops, melon, citrus and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a juicy fruity aftertaste. Pretty good beer overall.
