Pours a very hazy, light orange-yellow, with mid-sized, lasting head. Aroma is very citrusy, dank, and hoppy. Flavor has a big helping of citrus (grapefruit) and bitter, piney hops. Bitter finish to the whole affair, too. Not a bad IPA.

Pours hazy orange, not much foam. Aroma is fruity, juicy and has some ripe mango, papaya and passionfruit. Tastes super tropical and juicy. Beautiful. Nice dry bitter finish. Still clean in the midst of all of this. Juicebomb, not cloying and not heavy, just right.

Can shared. Thanks Kaori and Jon! Pours a slightly hazy glowing orange with a finger of foam that dissipates fairly quickly. Huge guava and mango nose with peach and citrus. Tropical juice on the palate. Almost no perceived bitterness. Just juice. Amazing stuff that stood up well against Alchemist and Trillium.

Tap at Duckfat with lunch after 3hr drive this was an amazing lunch. Bright and cloudy orange pour. Nose is lovely tropical fruits and dank hops. Tastes of passion fruit, pineapple, guava, pine, honey and grassy. Bitter fruity palate. Really good

Can into a wineglass showing cloudy dark yellow with half a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows light orange citrus. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Flavors of juicy orange with a light citrus background. Orange zest throughout and a citric zesty bitterness. So incredibly fruit forward; this is fantastic.

Poured from a pint can it is a cloudy golden color with a slight head. The aroma is citrus and the taste is a strong bitter white grapefruit taste

Sampled at the brewery, pours a hazy, murky gold with some soapy, white head. Nose has lemon and grist, a little lemon tea, something a bit herbal like lavender. Flavor is tannic with lemon and herb tea, some white flour, some muddled grasses. Finishes full bodied and a touch chalky. Definitely didn’t get the hype.
