The mouthfeel is phenomenally smooth and smile inducing. Aroma is fruity, solid maltiness and a touch of alcohol. Well balanced beer that has a hop bite with a sweet maltiness blending together masterfully. The papaya is kind of in the background which I like very much, it’s there but in good moderation. You do not taste any alcohol in this one. Keep em coming.

From a trade with Maltzilla, Thanks Diego! Sweet smoothie papaya flavor, color is green honey. Flavor is light, sweet, juicy, very refreshing.

Bottle: Pours a clear deep bronze with a stringy-lacing from of white head. Nose has a fresh piny hop character with a touch of tropical fruit and light malty sweetness. Starts with a pretty good fullness and light toasted malty sweetness with light fruity papaya character and good juicy hop bitterness before a drier bittersweet finish. A pretty flavorful and unique IPA.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle purchased at the brewery in Tampa. Pours an amber orange color with a pale cream white foam head. Good IPA aroma with citrus, caramel, and pine, with some definite hints of papaya. A touch of pineapple rather than Papaya. Has a sweet caramel taste with a nice rounded hop hit. Sticky through the finish. Papaya is only apparent on the finish where it moderates the bitterness and provides some smoothness.
Exceptionally good. Reminds me of a DFH 90.

Lightly hazy orange color with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, citrus, light pine, and papaya. Taste of citrus, grass, pine, papaya, and grapefruit finish.

Bottle shared at Damico’s Philly Beer Week event. Pours an amber orange color with a soapy white foam head. Has an aroma of citrus, caramel, and pine, with some definite hints of papaya. Has a sweet caramel taste with a nice rounded hop hit. Sticky through the finish. Love how the papaya blends with the finish to give it that second layer of flavor.

Courtest of ericandersnavy. Clear amber color/ no head. Dry caramel, tropical fruit aromas. Medium bodied. Dry, bitter hoppy flavors with mild tropical fruits, on a weak malty base--ok
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sample at the Sour Village / CCB Tasting on 05/20/2011. Thanks to JaBier for bringing a bottle back from FL. Pours a clear amber-brown color with a medium thick off-white head that burns away slowly. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of tropical fruits, bready malt and hops. Medium body with flavors of sweet fruit, hops and grainy malt. The finish is fruity with a lingering sweetness left behind. Decent beer overall.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a dark gold with a medium head. Aromas are sweet fruit and a little bit of grain dust with a touch of hops. Wondering if it gets buried in the maltiness of it all... Flavor is a very nice mix of sweet malt and papaya with even more tropical fruit hops to balance and finish things nicely. This is a great end to a long day of travel to Florida!
