Bottle at home. Nicely fruity aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, light biscuity malt, some pine resin, tangerine, hops. Flavour is light sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Nice tasty citrus aroma and overall well-rounded IPA.

12 oz can poured. Strange IPA here. A clean golden pour, a thin patchy fizz head. Aroma is the worst part for me, as it comes of as vegetal, and a raw pumpkin note. Flavor is a bit better, citrus and grassy hops. Orange fruit comes though. A miss here for me.

12 oz. can, pours a hazy copper golden with a small whtie head. Aroma is really unpleasant, with earthy hops, vegetal notes, and cardboard. Flavour is like raw squash, with a very vegetal character. Oh man, this is disgusting. Undrinkable.

32oz crowler pours with a near clear deep gold body that supports a thin dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up citrusy orange and grapefruit blended right in with spicy onion like hoppiness. The taste delivers a nice bitter orange and grapefruit bite with softer notes of tangelo and clementine like juicy hop flavor. To midway some biscuit malts blend with thin spicy bitter onion hoppiness to round things out. Nice crushable IPA.

This brew is a clear orange-gold color with a medium thick frothy white head that dissipates gradually to a film. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, herbal hops and caramel malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle from Bine & Vine. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Fruity aroma. Med body. Flavor is mixed fruits - lots of it. Very hard for me to parse. Pale stone, tropical, citrus ... There’s a nice hop burn. Not quite dry, but very hoppy and burningly bitter. Highly recommended.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is a floral and orange peel hop. Flavor is a decent fruit hop with a bready pop from the maris otter malt. Decent malt/hop combo with new world fruity hops and old school malt. Solid and tasty.
