Big thanks to cquiroga for sharing this bottle with me...Chris, I’ll hit you back soon! Pours with a white head over a hazy amber gold body. Aroma is hoppy and a bit dank, grain and caramel following. Taste is a well balanced IPA with a bit of exotic fruits, and a bit herbal with good caramel.

Cloudy amber colour. Somewhat orangey, tropical fruity aroma. Moderate bitterness. Flavour is mainly bright tropical fruit flavours. Typical American IPA...typically tasty.

Bottled. Pale amber, lightly hazy. Sweaty grapefruit aroma. Sweet with clean mouthfeel and obvious crystal malt character. Lingering very bitter finish. The somewhat simplistic malt character is forgiven thanks to the lovely aromatic hops.
