Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Tropical IPA

Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Tropical IPA.  6.7% Alc./Vol.

Appearance: clear, bright golden hue, lasting white head, leaving lace. Looks just gorgeous.

Aroma: Lemon and pineapple trick the nose first, some piney, resinous stuff, too. Mango, maybe, and some orange and lime, with hints of banana.

Taste: Mmm. Yeah. Big hoppiness, brash bitterness, citrus and tropical fruit flavors abound. Lean bodied, light malt flavor, plenty of room for the hops to shine and shine. Bitterness lays back a bit, and all is smooth and luscious on out. This is just right for a hop-head like me. I can dig this one.

On the label: This new equatorial IPA features intense hop varietals bursting with aromas reminiscent of island fruit, including notes of mango, papaya, and bitter orange, for a tropical take on an IPA."

On the back, as well as the website (see link above), slightly more information, worded differently.
