Smell of fruit, orange peel. Golden colour, white head. Aroma of hops, spruce, grapefruit. Medium bitter. Semi-flat carbon. Mid-light body, slightly watery palate. Finishes with hops and a faint of spruce. A good basic IPA, but quite nonsurprising.

Pour is a clear amber with a average white head. Aroma is a nice hop with a little caramel malt. Flavor is again a decent hop with a little sticky malt in the backround. A decent IPA but also nothing extraordinary.

From a 12 oz bottle shared at home. Pours a clear gold with an off white head. Citrus hop hose. Citrus and light grassy notes in the flavor. Moderately bitter finish,

12 oz bottle a gift from Beastiefan2K. Thanks a bunch Eugene! Nose is tons of citrus hops with lots of little tropical fruit notes against a light sweet malty background. Hazy urine yellow with a big, heavy lacing, pale yellow head. Flavor is moderately bitter with some sweet melon notes. Finishes with a smooth light bitterness. A nice light, not overpoweringly bitter IPA.

12oz bottle. Pour is dark, dull golden, medium clarity with a strong medium sized head that has good retention. Aroma, well it’s hoppy but I most like what I think is the Citra hop tha comes out. It’s kind of mango in a sea of citrus and bitterness. The flavor losses this mango character and just bitterness in a sea of wheat malt. Clean wheat malt and hop bitterness is all the flavor has. It almost seems soulless in the flavor. I want my beer with character not cookie-cutness.

Draft at the source. Hazy deep golden color, small white head, solid lacing. Arona of tropical fruit and lemonpeel. Taste is similar. Nice.

12 oz bottle purchased at Rimann in Prairie Village, Kansas. Best By Month 9, Week 4 notched on the label - not sure what time frame Free State uses on bottle, so uncertain on age of this. The pour is mostly clear copper with a one inch light tan head that is lasting. The aroma is bright citrus hops, nice blend of orange, orange peel, and pineapple. The malt is present in the nose as well, grainy, some resin notes - fresh nose. The taste is a nice balance between the full citrus hop brightness and the backbone of the grainy, toasty malt. There is an interesting spiciness in the flavor as well, not sure if this is from the yeast or the malt. Initially, this spiciness distracted, though as the beer warmed it integrated giving the beer some additional depth. Nice beer.
