The Aromas are a lot of fresh grapefruit Hops and some pale malt. Flavors are like nose, lightly sweet upfront with bitterness building and strong carbonation. Good body and finish. Nice beer.

Can from Elizabeth Station, Bellingham, WA
Hazy to cloudy pale blond colour. Quite dank aroma, citrus peel, off-dry mouthfeel, lean base, maybe a bit chalky in the finish, but with a good hop character.
Very good.

Lightly hazy. Amazing nose of white peaches, nectarines and muscat. A mirage of fruity excellence. Super juicy, low carbonation, a fruit salad of tropical and non tropcial fruits on the palate, slightly sweet with some nice crackery malt. Medium low bitterness. Faaaannnntastic. This is a REALLY nice fresh hop IPA.

16 oz can from Boise Co-op. Orange-y pour, frothy head. Tropical, then citrus, on both the nose and taste. It seems poised to explode, but kind of fizzles out. A solid hazy with some big hops, but not extraordinary.

16 oz can. Aroma is pineapple, passionfruit, citrus peel. Pours a beautiful hazy golden with a long lasting white head. Taste is lightly sweet with a light bitterness in the finish; tons of juicy tropical fruit flavor. Has a hint of coconut. Delicious.
