Florida

4.3/5  rDev +2.6%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

A - Hazy golden hue, with not so much head, and a small collar of lace.

S - Huge apricot nose, equally proportioned between hoppy suggestions of said fruit and of actual fruit orgin.

T - Really nice flavor here. The wood adds a buttery earthiness that melds with the hop profile. I don't get a huge amount of apricot in the flavor until the finish, but I do get general tropical fruity notes, including pineapple, papaya and mango.

M - Lighter and softly carbonated.

O - Really good. By far the best beer I've ever had from this brewery.

Serving type: on-tap
