This American-style IPA pours a hazy, golden-orange color, topped with a thick, fluffy white head that leaves behind a delightful lacing as it dissipates. The aroma is a symphony of ripe tropical fruits, with notes of mango, pineapple, and passionfruit taking center stage. Citrus elements, including grapefruit and orange, intertwine with subtle floral and herbal undertones, creating a captivating and complex bouquet. On the palate, the hop flavors dance between sweet and bitter, delivering a juicy blend of tropical fruit flavors, including mango, pineapple, and papaya.
