Pours with a very hazy opaque pale yellow color. Aroma contains tropical mango, passionfruit, rye spice, and citrus. There is a spicy bite right off the bat, that intertwines with citrusy zest, and a tropical mango sweetness. Very rounded, pillowy, full body. Moderately dry finish, with a rye bite. This is really a pretty creative beer. Typically rye lends itself well to maltier beers, not hazy IPAs, but it works really well in this case, adding another layer/dimension to the hop bill here, complimenting the citrusy character.
