Exploding with hop flavor and aroma, this citrus/piney/floral ale has enough of a malt backbone to stand up to the intense bitterness.

12oz bottle, courtesy of gregwilsonstl, pours with a slightly hazed deep gold body that has a thin copper hues and supports decent near white head. The aroma offers up grapefruit, orange pith and some thin soft citrus and tropical fruit juicy odors off in the background. The taste delivers a pleasing hoppy bite with bitter grapefruit and tangerine like citrus hops as well as some modest resiny pine hoppiness. Toward midway it pulls up thin juicy citrus and faintly tropical fruity notes that add a nice balance to the overall hop experience. Into the finish seems to lurk faint esters that are wrapped in bitter grapefruit and lime and pine hoppiness. Nice.

12oz bottle pours a clear orange with a ring of lightly lacing, white head. Nose has a lot of heavy pith, orange, grapefruit, some spruce, some pine. Smells just a bit stale. Flavor follows along, sprucey, pithy, pine, some mild candy sweetness. Bitter finish, lots of bite.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-clear yellow to orange color with a half finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. Light lacing strung itself in a messy sort of way.
The smell had a decent sharp sweet citrus/floral note over top of a light orange and tangerine aroma. Light caramel tones to come in underneath to balance.
The taste was mainly bittersweet through the citrus/floral hop content but the caramel aspects try to balance but stay underneath.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was good for the style and good to me. There was a good harshness and almost went just a tad overboard, luckily, it stays right where it should be.
Overall, good AIPA I know I would have again if I could get it.
