Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to becher glass.
Appearance: golden yellow color with some transparency about it; one and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: tropical fruits, danky/earthy character, and some grapefruit rind-like hops; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to an awesome West coast bittersweetness; finishes so smooth with the danky to grapefruity tropical fruitiness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but also a shot of hop invasiveness at the tongue (expected that)
Overall: this is probably one of my top favorite West coast styled IPA's, so daggum good!

Imperial pint can. Dank grapefruit aroma with notes of tangerine, orange, pineapple, grassy hops and pine resin. Pours clear golden colored with a large white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with tangerine, orange and pineapple flavors. Finishes dry with dank grapefruit, grassy hops and pine resiny hop flavors. Pretty nice IPA.

Bottle from The Beer Mongers, Portland. Aroma is mildly dank juicy fruity hops, tropical fruits, grapefruit, touch of pineapple and onions. Flavour is light sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Wonderfully juicy and a little dank, easy smooth lPA.
