Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up a bit of resiny hops and then a blend of melon, honeydew and cranberry / tangelo. The taste delivers some resiny bitter sticky pine hops and then more cranberry and melon. Really nice and I just want to sink my teeth into pint after pint of this.

32oz crowler pours with a murky opaque straw gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up some initial onion dankness and then it settled into grapefruit, dank onion and some guava. The taste delivers a smooth balanced attack of bitter grapefruit like hoppiness and smooth guava and a bit of cantaloupe. It gets into mildly rich territory to midway as the tropical fruitiness and citrus juice ramp up just a bit. Behind the fruitiness and growing some into the finish is a murmur of bitter onion like dank bitterness and floral hoppiness. Solid balanced crushable beer. Yes!

16 oz can purchased to go at Irene's Tap Room in Phoenix, Arizona. Canned 3 4 19. The pour is a clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is citrus, tropical fruit hop and biscuit malt. The taste is the tropical citrus fruit and crisp biscuit malt in nice balance along with a nice touch of dank. The palate is medium to light bodied with active carbonation and a clean dry mineral softly bitter dank resin finish. My kind of beer. Carried the 8.8% nicely.
