Notes

A massive dose of Citra and Amarillo hops gives it a blastwave of tropical hop aromatics: mango, tangerine, and passionfruit all leap out of the glass. Brewed with wheat malt, StarTropics also has the mild, nutty malt backbone, reasonable ABV, and restrained bitterness to make it an outstanding session beer.
