What the brewers say
A ruddy American strong. Grapefruit and stone fruit hop aroma and character are balanced by a rich red malt backbone.
What our panel thought
In the nose, pine and candied-orange hops play well with light, caramel-malt sweetness; notes of passion fruit, guava, dank cellar. Flavor is surprisingly light and soft—low bitterness, light malt, easy drinking. Soft, clean finish with notes of raspberry, orange, overripe tropical fruit, and dankness. Well attenuated, with the balance of a pale ale. This beer would get me in trouble.
What our editors thought
Fruity, ester-driven nose evokes berries and sweaty tropical fruit; just a touch of caramel malt underneath. The flavor is similarly soft and fruity, not bitter, with those esters amplified by caramel sweetness. It's a touch thin for its strength, but a curious idea for those who enjoy tropical hop flavors with none of the bitterness, and without the residual sweetness of the current hazy trend.
