If your not a hop head put this beer back. We use crisp desert water, a strong malt profile and a double dose of dry hopping will make you a believer.

Draft US Pint on 3rd April 2025, at the source, just managed to get in before Happy Hour finished (18:00), had two flights afterwards, so nine new ticks for me on the visit. Clean amber body, white crown. Bitter tasting IPA with both citrusy and piney notes, decent malt base, but it's all about the bittering hops really.

Sample at Arizona Strong Beer Festival 2019. Dark golden with a small head. Kind of mild with hops, caramel, malt and citrus. The finish was medium bitter.

On tap at Bill's Pizza, Prescott. A pale amber pour with a thin white head; aroma of pine and citrus; smooth and resinous in the mouth; a nice full-bodied west coast IPA.

12oz bottle pours clear deep gold with nice near frothy off white head. The aroma offers up malt sweetened tangelo and a light mango note as well as faint spicy hops. The taste is on the thin and watery side and pulls up notes of grapefruit and tangelo and some orange notes that mingle from time to time with sugary sweet maltiness. The hops are more bitter than flavor but tend to be a bit on the tart side. I think this could use more body.
