Serving type: 12-ounce bottle. “ENJOY BY 09/11/14” is written on the shoulder.
Appearance: Poured into a pint glass. The color is clear gold. One finger of eggshell-colored head dissipates slowly.
Smell: It is bursting with hop citrus and tropical fruit. Woooooo! Lots of grapefruit, tangerine, mango, and pineapple. There are also a lot of earthy hops and pine. Lots of hops!
Taste: Nice, creamy, light, and citrusy. Grapefruit, tangerine, orange, mango, pineapple, and earthy hops. There is a good dose of pine at the end, and the bitterness really works the taste buds.
