Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark gold with a creamy white head that quickly turned foamy and laced. Aroma is tropical. Med body. Flavor has tropicals but also citrus/pine. Juicy and not entirely dry. Bitter, but not harshly so. There's melon and perhaps passion fruit. Hop driven but not really to the West Coast. Nor New England. Tasty in the event.

On tap at Fogbelt, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bitter and piney, with lots of bitter piney hops, and biscuity malt. Bitter, piney finish. It's alright.

Poured up at Ratebeer Best 2017 Beer Fest where it exhibits a clear deep gold body that has copper hues and supports a tan head of foam. The mild aroma offers pine, some grapefruit and then kind of faint spicy hoppiness. The taste delivers sort of smooth yet bitter and resiny pine hops with an undercurrent of citrus hoppy grapefruit and then just a dash of orange and tangelo like juiciness. To midway it picks up a bit of spicy hoppiness helping to give this another tasty facet. Pretty solid easy drinking IPA.

Draught at Fogbelt. Clear deep golden liquid with medium off-white head. Aroma of citrus, tangerine, mango, caeamel and bread. Taste is light sweet and medium bitter with notes of tangerine, citrus, mango and raw sugar. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Unnecessarily sweet, but decent. Quite drinkable.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours clear gold with a creamy head. There’s some ripe citrus in the nose, orange and tangerine, hints of pine. Medium sweet flavor with some flinty minerals, bitter pine, rindy lemon, grapefruit pith. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pithy and rindy on the finish, more drying minerality. Just OK.
