Described as a Tasmanian IPA, this beer is loaded with hops from New Zealand. It pours a light gold color with a voluminous 2 finger dense white head. The aroma is full of sweet hopiness, tropical fruits, marshmallows, mandarin oranges, and pineapple. This aroma is practically a fruit salad mixed with a slight grassiness. The taste is similar, but some of the sweeter flavors fall away to make room for a pronounced grassiness and fruity flavor. This beer finished nice and dryly and has a nice mouthfeel for a hoppy beer, light and crisp, but not watery at all. This being the second hoppy beer from 8° Brewing that I have enjoyed is a great sign that they know what they're doing, especially with the hops, and if I was looking for another super tasty, drinkable, hoppy beer, I would be happy to try one of theirs again.
