Poured up on tap at the Papago Hopageddon event where it exhibits a clear gold body that supports a nice looking white head. The aroma offers up a thicket of grapefruit, tangelo and clementine like citrus hop yumminess that yields both nuance and depth. The taste is straight up juicy malt sweetened citrus wow wow. The juiciness quickly gives way to bitter resiny grapefruit and tangerine notes. I love this as it’s juicy from front to back and it offers a wide load of citrus hop bitterness. Solid IPA as this didn’t come across as a IIPA.

Tap at Pony Bar. With this rating, I enter the top 100 raters for the first time (at least temporarily)! Brilliant golden orange, clear, with a thick head. Big citrus nose, bready malts. Nicely sweet, not too much, very bitter too. Good citrus and grass. Solid and not too syrupy.
