Opalescent pale golden colour, minimal off-white head; aroma of grapefruit, pine resins, some tropical fruity, pear and maybe slight watermelon notes; taste is dominated by hoppy bitterness with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; good ipa

Keg tap at BrewDog Leicester. Light golden and hazy with a little bit of white head. Piney and boozy notes in the intense aroma. Waxy bitter taste with resinous flavours and pear drop notes. Long citrussy finish. Light carbonation in the mouth. Grows on me.

Nice crisp golden coloured body with a nice, three centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of very fresh hops with a tropical fruit and grassy notes with a little bit of perfume and a touch of sticky malts. Medium-bodied; Strong bitter hop flavour at first with a deep grassy and herbal note along with some lighter grapefruit and tropical fruit flavour right behind, all with a good malt backbone with some light sweetness as well. Aftertaste shows some grass, hay, resin and a lot of grapefruit and pine hoppiness that shows through everything without much sweetness at all. Overall, a very nice beer, decidedly a West Coast IPA with a great balance and defined hop character of resin and grapefruit and a proper complexity near the end with a touch of sweetness. Great to sample and well worth trying to find and drinking fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint sized can with the great open top lid, purchased from Total Beverage in Thornton, Colorado yesterday on 04-June-2017 for US$2,62 sampled a day later in my hotel room in Cheyenne, Wyoming on 05-June-2017.

This beer is a cloudy orange color with a medium frothy white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrusy hops, pine and malt. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops, grapefruit and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
