Golden, frothy, mostly clear.
Vanilla yogurt, leather, lemon berry nose.
Big onion sweetness, dusty, slight dank, socks.
Bittersweet, lightweight, lingering froth.

Kinda okay.

Draft pour, light gold. The aroma on this is intense and smells like a freshly peeled tangerine. Notes of tangerine and grapefruit juice are amazing. That fades and turns bitter but that initial wave is a citrus fruit bat to the face!

Aromas are resin, citrus pith, malt and a slight hint of MJ. Flavors are similar to and better than nose, All qualities are bolder with just right carbonation. Bittersweet. West Coast style. Pretty good.

Draft and multiple cans. Pours a clear gold with a finger of off-white foam that lingers. Grapefruit, candied citrus, melon and pineapple as it warms. Dry on the palate with more citrus, dank, melon and pine as it warms. Bone dry finish with great balance. One of the best available year round IPAs in the US.

Key at BD Tower Hill. Low key floral and resin aroma. A slightly hazy amber. Creamy white head. Light bitter with a herby sweetness. Restrained but pleasantly so. Medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long very dry finish. Nice herby/spicy IPA. Not hop overkill.
