I had this on tap at founders. Unfortunately they wouldn’t let us take a growlers home. This is a very delicious IPA, maybe one of the better ones i have had. Pours a dark yellow/orangish color. Taste is citrus with hops. Mango Papaya Grapefruit indeed.

Oct 13, 2009 On nitro at Founders 8.20.09. Pours a cloudy murky orange with a super thick creamy frothy nitro head. Lots of citrus in the aroma, some pine and resin as well. Flavor is creamy citrus and grapes, piney resin, light vanilla, long grapey aftertaste. Creamy medium/full bodied with sparse but a bit sharp carbonation bubbles, smooth but a bit sugary.

Aug 23, 2009 On nitro @ Founders...my wife and I just happened to be there the day they put this on. Very nice looking brew coming off of the nitro, dark yellow/gold with a large white head. The nose is absolutely ridiculous on this...massive amounts of fresh mango and grapefruit with noticeable Centennial hops abound. Typical nitro mouth feel that works extremely well with this brew. Flavor is all citrus and hops...what a brew. Per Mark @ Founders, this is a one-off experimental brew. Get it while you can.

Aug 16, 2009 Nitro tap at Founders. Pours a hazy amber with a big, dense nitro head. I’m usually not a fan of nitro beers. Most of the time they seem to have very dulled down flavors and aromas but this beer seems to be the exception. Loads of fresh tropical fruit and citrus aroma coupled with a nice honey-caramel, sweet malt background. The flavor pretty much follows the aroma. Lots more fresh, juicy tropical fruit, big cascade citrus and sweet malt. A little one dimensional but damned delicious. The nitro also made a a velvety creamy body.
