Pours a hazy, orange-banana, with smallish head. Aroma is juicy citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with some pine and hop resin in the mix. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish. Really good.

Pours a hazy, brown mustard color, with mid-sized head. Aroma is juicy citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, supported by a light underlying sweetness. Soft, soft mouthfeel. The ABV is very well-hidden in both aroma and flavor. Mild level of hop bitterness in the finish. Top-notch.
