Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: golden copper color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: deep mixed citrusy and piney fresh hops with a nice clean malt base
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue; very little hop bitterness, good carb level
Overall: seemed somewhat like a cross between an AIPA and a NEIPA to me but done well enough to warrant more pours.

Draught at the WRJ Beer Garden, 6/22/15.
Clear, bright yellow-golden-bronze. Small, well-retained, white head.
Juicy, fruity, with a good mix of pine, grapefruit, round orange and plentiful white bread-like malt to balance it nicely.
Juicy, fruity, with a range of tropical, citrus and even a touch of pine. White bread-like malts are reasonably deep, supportive and well-attenuated. Lingering bitterness. Great balance of fruitiness and more old school pine and citrus with a healthy but not obnoxious bitterness. Clean and snappy with supportive and very well-attenuated malts. Excellent amount of flavor for its relatively small stature.
