Tasted in a side by side with the nugget, warrior, and cascade. By far my favorite of the lineup. All pour the same clear golden amber, but this had a massive frothy head and good lacing. Nose is tremendous pineapple sweetness with just a hint of caramel. Flavor is a little piney. Some spiciness from the hops. Very good Cavie (1438), Fort Worth, Texas, USA

Hazy orange look with a medium off white head. Aroma was the best of the five we had. Both fruity and floral with notes of mandarine, and peach, very exotic. Nice body with a toffe soft malt base that compliments the hops great. Flavor wasnt very bitter but soft and tastefull. Great ipa!
