Got in a BIF from TheDoctor. 22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 5/9/2018. Pours slightly hazy medium golden/amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of rapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a fantastic IPA. All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink will the modestly bitter/drying finish, not aggressive. Feels like Centennial, Amarillo, and Simcoe. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; great bready malt backbone, mild residual sweetness with lingering bitter dryness. A highly enjoyable offering. Loved the classic west coast hop profile.

Bottle from Chez Ben. Slightly hazy medium amber with a small lingering white head that leaves tight lace. Nose is bright citrus and tropical fruit with some resin on top of a light bready background. Light sweet caramel with a medium grapefruit and lemon peel bitterness, but also highlighting mango and passion fruit along with some floral notes that become more prominent as it warms. Mouth is medium slick with slightly soft carbonation and a quite dry finish. Very well balanced and does not present as bitter as you would expect at 75 IBU. 9/8+/4/4/18-

650ml bottle (thx, JC!) bottled 2017-05-17 shared at Alex’s. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. First nose is tropical fruits, after - bready and malty. Taste is tropical fruits bitterness, resiny and piney. Very good.

Bottled at Ottawa gathering. Cloudy deep golden, mid sized head. Dank lychee and grapefruit aroma. Dryish with solid body and crisp, rounded mouthfeel. Pink grapefruit and lychee dominates. Crisp bready malt. Really bitter finish. The crisp dryness makes it super drinkable. Edgeless, hoppy and absolutely beautiful. One of the best IPAs anywhere.
