Gold color. Fruity, herbal aromas and flavors of grilled pineapple and mangos, herbs, and flatbreads with a supple, vibrant, finely carbonated, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, medium-length finish with notes of grilled root vegetables and leeks, pepper, cannabis, and oatmeal cookie. An easygoing IPA for burgers and brats.
