Review:(Served in 12oz mug poured out of 12oz bottle)

  Appearance: Medium golden in color ,mild carbonation and hazy. Frothy yellow tan head that sticks around for a little.

  Smell: Heavy simcoe and amarillo hops of the nose, creating for an aroma that has a tropical fruit quality but a spicy zest.

  Taste: Lighter body, a little bit of wet dog on the tongue accompanied by a fruity bitterness. The zest hoppy bitter shock at the finish is there as guaranteed.

  Mouthfeel: Lighter mouth feel, more carbonation than expected.

  Overall: It was ok, the blast was not as powerful as i expected but still zesty and present.
