Cold
Orange red, very cloudy, fine tan head that stays, billows some
Aroma hawaiian punch sweet and fruity, but hop bitterness at the end with pine
Mouthfeel, chewy, toothy but big carb, clingy sweetness at end
Flavor big hop bitterness over everything, then it's a fruit punch underneath, pear sweetness with bright tropicals/pineapple, some pine mixed in.
Finish, clingy but hop bitterness certainly dominates the finish, leaves tongue bitter on the edges, yet somehow quenched and ready for more.
Overall, ridiculous hopness overpowers the sweet malt, but this is the limit of how sweet the malt can get without over-cloying. Basically, this only works if you are a hop fiend, and you can filter it at bottling. Drop the ABV, the cara, and play nicer with the hops, and you have satisfying beer. This is over the top, definitely not worth the hop investment.
