Appearance – Reddish orange/golden color. Slightly hazy. Two
finger off-white head with some staying power and decent lacing.
Aroma – Very fruity! Mango, pineapple, passion fruit. Lots
of peach. Slight floral characteristic as well. I could smell the fruity notes
while pouring with the glass two feet away from my nose.
Taste – Excellent flavor. First taste yields a tropical
fruit flavor up front (I can place pineapple most readily) that fades into a toasty finish. Some caramel flavor in
the mix too. Not overtly bitter – bitterness blends well with other flavors.
The more I drink, the more sticky fruit I taste, almost like a passion fruit
syrup was used in the brew. Malt backbone evokes the crusty part of banana
bread – a mix of bready/toasty and caramel.
Mouthfeel – Full bodied. Leaves a coating on the mouth that
lingers well beyond each sip. Medium carbonation punches up the hop flavors at
the start of the sip and causes the flavors of the malt flavors to make their
stand in the aftertaste.
This is a great beer. I’m very proud of it!
