Overall: Working with fruit can be amazing and using good quality fruit is key to achieving that wonderful freshness and avoiding artificial flavorings. There is a pithy quality similar to biting into fresh fruit along with the back-end bitterness one would expect from a Stone Brewing IPA.

Palate: Crisp, clean, and refreshingly bitter. Taste is both fruity and hoppy leading to a long finish. Taste: An explosion of fresh fruit and bright hops join together to create several complex fruit layers.

Aroma: Bright, fresh fruit aromas of pineapple, tangerine, and tangelo combine with citrus and tropical aromas from the hops.
