On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy orange gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is tropical fruit, earth, pine. Medium body, juicy hop, grapefruit pith, grass, light bitterness, very nice.

Sampled on draft at Vintage Estate this beer poured a cloudy yellow-gold color with a huge fluffy white head that left incredible lacing. The aroma was dry with citrus and cactus. The flavor was dry and bitter with citrus, cactus, yeast and chalk. Medium length finish. Medium body.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 8/1/2017. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with an great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected if 4.6%. Overall this is an excellent session IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; with the modestly bitter/drying finish, never aggressive. Great vibrant, juicy, and dank balanced hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, with no residual sweetness. Nice body for the ABV from wheat and oats. Great Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo hop profile. One of the better SIPA I have had for sure. A very enjoyable offering.

Very interesting bottle shape. Yeah! Pours clear pale, then cloudy from dregs. Now almost the eye of a somewhat darker pale muddy hefe. Smell of rotten fruit IPA. Good co2! Taste is higher APA in nature. Bitter in the middle. Co2 makes it almost drinkable. Don't know if I could do 2 of these. I guess its on the border between an APA & an IPA on the finish. Not real veggie in the flavor like so many rude sessions.

Draft - Bright citrus and peachy notes, clear gold with a nice white head. Sweet citrus and lots of nice peach and a bitterness. Very nice.

Sample at the GCBA Summer Session on 08/23/2014: Slightly hazy orange color with a medium foamy white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Aroma of hops, tropical fruit and malt. Light body with flavors of citrus, melon, hops and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Decent overall.
