Out of a Growler. Pours hazy gold with white head. Very intense floral and tropical fruit hop aroma, smells amazing. Nice tropical fruit hop profile, some floral notes and a little pine, not really that bitter, just really fruity, with a little bit of grassyness. .Love it.

Tap at Library in Des Moines. The body poured a hazy medium gold and orange. The nose has huge grapefruit and toasted almond nose. There is some bit of pine. The taste is like aa woody grapefruit with some walnuts. The body has a bit of white sugar sweetbess, but it is restrained. Another winner from TG.

Sampled at 4 Hand’s Lupulin Fest 2013 - Pours hazy golden orange with a patchy white head. The aroma has musty toasty malt with mild hops. Medium / full body with mild sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with mildly toasted fairly sweet malt, some earthy hops and mustiness. The finis has earthy and piny hops and some harshness. Okay IPA.

A beer with a great name that I had to try while dining with a few friends. A strong IPA, with a decent finish. I really tasted the floral sweetness and tropical favors as described. Worth a try if you like IPA, but it won’t be making my list of favorites.

Tap at Toppling Goliath. Pours to a deep glowing golden body with a nice white head. The aroma is juicy nectarines, lemons, and pine. The flavor is juicy fruits and pine. Bitter, but balanced as a beer. Very good execution.
