14 oz from tap @ Salt Lake City Airport (where there’s some nice local crafts to be had). Golden color, lightly hazy. White head, somewhat rocky. Aroma’s: piney/resinous, some citrus, some malt. Retronasal there’s more citrus to it. Flavor is light grainish sweet, light bitter. Light bodied, quite thin. Finishes moderate bitter. Lots of hops, but still mild. Pleasant.

Bottle. Amber body. Short, off-white head. Mild aroma of citrus and toasted grain. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Better than some session IPAs that taste like water with some alpha acids stirred in. Still, the malt backbone doesn’t have much taste to it. The hops offer some citrus but mostly bitterness.

Strong tea, rosehip, and lemon zest aroma, quite nice. Cloudy amber, medium yellow head. Pencil shavings, orange peel, lemongrass. Hints of caramel. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Hops had fallen out a bit, but this was a nice session IPA.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks Tom L. Clear golden. Aroma of nice "green" and fruity hops and a grainy note. Dry flavor with "green" and slightly fruity hops and nice bitterness. Good and refreshing.

Can from the Drinkery Pours a slightly hazy deep golden color with a huge frothy bubbly bone white head that persists forever leaving lots of stickies to the sides of the glass on the way down. Huge peppery, resinous, earthy, lightly onion hop aromas. Faint bready caramel maltiness barely backs up the huge hop aromas. The flavor holds more of the toffee caramel bread maltiness than the aroma suggested. Pine resin and dank hop flavors with a smooth but firm hop bitterness. Light to medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick watery mouthfeel. This is one of the better "session" IPA’s that I have had. I find most don’t have much body and seem very thin and watery whereas this one works a little better for me in that area.

On tap at bier thirty. Pours out a orangeish golden topped with a white head. Nose is pine citrus hops and some earth notes. Taste is as the nose with a nice light hop and some caramel malts.

Can at home in CT. Pours clear orange-gold with a foamy white head. The nose has plenty of pine, some orange rind, melon. Light sweet flavor with more melon, ripening orange, Fruity Pebbles cereal, pine, grapefruit. Light bodied with average carbonation. OK balance to finish with more citrus fruits, light piney bitterness, light perfume, some pale bread. Not bad.
