A touch of wheat hazes the malt bill, softening this bright and crisp IPA. Dayglow is packed with juicy hops featuring pineapple and tropical fruit flavors and aromas. Dayglow crashes the party with the juicy beat of hops--dripping with tropical, sunshiny Mosaic and sparkling with touches of Eldorado and Centennial.

Dull gold, aroma is mosiac tropical fruits, some melon and grapefruit. Bitter front, some chewier malts kick in, there’s some alcoholic muscle, nice fresh hop character.

On tap. Pours a clear gold with moderate foamy head. Aromas of grapefruit, toffee, and tropical fruit. Flavors of tropical fruit, nectarines, and citrus. Very fruity but with a long bitter finish. Really nice.

Very citrusy, point marked down to almost no aroma, very mild grapefruit. Decent pillowy head, pale golden with some lazy carbonation. Taste comes on strong with the citrus, very smooth, abrupt finish.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance has a nice hazy glossed over orange to light brown color with a one finger white foamy head that quickly subsided to leave a light lacing forming all around the glass.
The smell has a nice tropical fruitiness turning to some light oranges and tangerines glossing over some super light caramel tones.
The taste was mainly bitter through the fruity hops and yet still added a nice sweet to spicy conglomeration of hops to malts. The aftertaste was a pounding bitter spiciness eradicating my tastebuds of anything remotely refreshing - holy dryness Batman.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body. Its hard to determine how sessionable this one is because of how dry this comes across, but for now I’ll say its somewhat sessionable as long as I have some water on the side.
Overall, this was a good AIPA for the most part, but its way drier than expected. I’d have this again.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of piney hops that dominate the nose, with a touch of dry biscuity malt. Flavour is extremely hoppy, and quite astringent, with loads of piney hops, and a mouth-puckering citric astringency - no real malt profile. Finishes sharp and astringent once again, but quite nice. Good hop bomb.

Bottle - Sweet juicy tropical fruit and some grapefruit pith. Clear gold with a rich white head. Tropical fruit and bitter pith with resin. Not bad, but the resin puts me off a bit.
