Fresh 750 ml growler pours hazy pale yellow with a white one finger head. Juicy Aromas of fresh citrus and a hint of pine. Taste mimics the aroma with a semi dry mouth feel and nice balanced hop finish. Exceptional beer.

Fresh 750 ml growler supplied by Willrunforbeer, much thanks! Pale yellow in color with lasting head retention in the snifter. Holy hell this smells great! Grapefruit, tropical fruits with a mild grain hint. Citra hops in bloom?

The flavor mimics the aroma with a dry texture over the tongue. Bitterness is on the low side but BIG of flavor. This drinks like a DIPA but with the lower ABV, bitterness is lasting after the sip. Exceptional well balanced IPA with just enough malt backing. Damn this is refreshing!
