Can compliments of JohnGalt1. Thanks Toby!
Pours a hazy orange yellow with a finger of foam, nice lacing.
Orange peel and grapefruit aromas that also smells like pitted fruit pits were thrown in. Lovely nose.
Orange peel sure adds the bitterness, grapefruit and pitted fruit pits add to the intensity. So fruity, so juicy, resinous.
Medium body with medium carbonation.
Man, I am digging this!

Tasting at SF, can
Cloudy blond color. Piney hops aroma with pungent citrus zest, lemon, grapefruit. Strong body, crisp malt base, and an explosion of piney and zesty hops, for a long final.
Delicious.

12 oz. can, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, citrus notes and biscuity malt. Flavour is robust, with loads with piney hops and dry biscuity malt. Piney hop bomb. Love these blonde IPAs. Excellent.

Cloudy, tan. Not much head. The aroma is big hops - they’re using nice ones here and they showcase well. Moderate bitterness, again the hop character comes through bright and fruity. A touch yeasty, but overall I like this bright hop character. Quite drinkable.

Tasty

12oz can pours out a golden topped with a white head. Nose is light tropical fruit hops some citrus grapefruit bitterness and a rich sweet malt. Taste is more of the light fruit notes and a well rounded bitter end. Thank you guys for making this special beer for ratebeer summer gathering.

12 ounce can. Pours a mostly cloudy orange color with a small white head. A funny name...what’s the origin? A Nice tropical fruity nose. The flavor is big citrus fruity hops, sharp bitterness, balanced out with soft citrus and peaches. The finish is actually dry and earthy. Sort of raw, but very good.

Can enjoyed in the hop fields as part of the RBSG tour.Lightly hazy golden with small frothy head. Gentle citrus aroma, malts and hops. NE style done by solid NW brewers. Taste brings more of the citrus notes, held up by a solid malt /hop combo. Thanks to Sockeye and barley Brown’s for this.

Cloudy light peach color with full dense stickey white head and lacing. Big sparp aggressive piney hop aromas and flavors. Bitter citrus pith also and on the trailer. A bold bitter IPA with lots of fresh hop flavor
