Draft. Poured a deep gold with a smallish, dense, light tan head. Aroma was lots of tropical fruit, particularly passion fruit, some bready malt. Flavor was quite different: less fruity, more earthy, bitter notes. Mouthfeel was quite astringent. I love passion fruit and wanted to like this, but it didn’t work for me.

On tap, pours a beautiful rich amber. Hints of orange and citrus. Flat finish, but interesting flavor. Not very well balanced for Mik ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

0,33L bottle, 5,0%. Herbal, grassy aroma. Sour apple wine flavor. Little perry and light mango somewhere middle. End is sour and light bitter. Maybe chemical lemon syrup on end.

Bottle at home (5%). Pours a golden amber colour with an off-white medium head. Sweet and fruity aroma with tropical fruit, apricot, fruity hops, pine and some lemon. Balanced. Surprisingly a light version of the same, and feels slightly sour and weirdly bitter in the aftertaste like bitter fruit peel. Has a light and slick mouth feel, and a medium bitterness. Great at first but ends strange and unbalanced.

Bottle shared at Dave’s tasting. Pours a hazy orange with a large off-white head. Very pleasant aroma of grapefruit and other citrus along with some floral notes. The flavor is malt followed by some grapefruit and grapefruit bitterness. Not as much citrus as the aroma suggests. Moderate bitterness at the finish. Medium bodied. Solid.

Excepcional American Pale Ale com lupulagem marcante, presença floral, herbácea e com sabores de frutas variadas, com álcool muito bem inserido, nada extrema.
