Can. Slightly cloudy gold in color. Aroma and taste were both tropical fruit and very hoppy.

[12oz can from Total Wines, Naples, FL.] An erupting pour, stable in the can, but going everywhere when tipped into the glass; leaving a bright pale amber liquid and a billowing white head that falls back very slowly; aroma of orange with a touch of spice; lively in the mouth with a fresh orange flavour, but also melon and spice from the hops; and then a dry, hoppy, moreish finish.

Can: Poured an amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hoppy notes with some light mandarin notes also perceptible. Taste is also mostly dominated by citrusy hoppy undertones with some mandarin notes and light bitterness. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable citrus IPA.

Not much to this pint; modest orange notes mixed with modest hops and modest cracker malts with a modest bitterness and a modest citric fade. Modest carbonation yields a modest head. Modest nose gives up modest whiffs of fruit and grain. New packaging's nice, though.

Slight hazy pale. Bitter but not really bitter like the ubiquitous. More like a stronger APA and I am grateful its sticking to its style, thanks. Yes, not bad for a quick one before I head over to the myrtle beach, heheh.

Can at home grabbed a sixer since bro coming to visit just stocking fridge with some variety. Yellow orange pour. Nose is citrus and slightly herbaceous. Tastes of mandarins, some white pine, botanicals and grapefruit pith. Watery palate. Not a ton going on.

Can thanks to Sarah! Pours a clear yellow with a white head that dissipates completely. Aroma combines flora and grass with light fruits and light grains backing. Flavor has light grains and grass with light fruits and flora backing.

Crisp, slightly hazy golden coloured body with a large, three centimetre tall pure white head that is a tad soapy. Aroma of pure citrus with hints of caster sugar, honey, light wheat, a touch of yeast and way more citrus tucked near the end. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and citrusey flavours at first with some moderate bitterness from the hops with a touch of grain and funk and finishing with some sweetness and a little dose of floral elements. Aftertaste is mellow with the citrus, hops, earth, funk and a deep floral flavour and some nice yeast complexities. Overall, a decent beer and nice to try, but lacking in both bitterness and citrusey flavours - good to sample, but could be much better. Nice to sample and worth trying if you like the citrus-based IPAs, otherwise, there are probably much better or more interesting beers to sample! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Growlers To Go in Richmond, Virginia on 14-April-2017 for US$2,00 sampled at hotel room here in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on 19-May-2017.

Draft at Craft Tasting Room. Clear golden yellow color, small white head. Orange peel aroma. Taste is sweetish citrus.
