Pours translucent gold with a white head. Mild citrus aroma. Med body. Flavor is citrus with a touch of tropicals and earth. Sort of juicy - hence slightly undry. But the malt is well handled by the pale malt support, so it’s a good drink. Hoppy, fruity, but not harsh. Pleasingly tasty and smooth.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours dark, clear brown with some ruddiness. Beige head. Aroma is dark roasty/toasty (mildly on the toasty) malt with some grass hints. Med body. Flavor is the aroma plus a little non-milky chocolate. Not dry. Somewhat bitter. Much more about malt than hop. Nails the style IMHO. Good dunker.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours dark/bright gold with a white head. Aroma is citrus with a touch of pale stone fruit. Call it full bodied. Very thick in the mouth. It’s fairly dry, quite hoppy (in a non-harsh way) and decently - more than moderately? - bitter. Deadly easy drinker. Very nice both physically and flavorfully. Win!

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma is nose challenging tropical. Not dank for me, but asks to be. Med body or better. Flavor is mango and arguably passionfruit. There’s an acidity suggesting pineapple. Earthy and citrus too. Getting closer to dank. Very pleasing ale.
