12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy deep orange/copper color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, apricot, pineapple, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, light pine, caramel, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, apricot, pineapple, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, pine, caramel, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Large amount of pine/citrus rind bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, peach, apricot, pineapple, mango, melon, lemon/orange rind, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance. Moderate dryness from bitterness that increases through the glass; leading to some light lingering hop astringency, but not unpleasant levels. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, sticky/resinous, and lightly grainy/creamy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink, even with the aggressive bitterness. A very enjoyable offering.

Sample at the taproom. Clear dark amber color with a thin white head that diminishes quickly to an outer ring. Sticky short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, malt and fruit. Light to medium body with flavors of grassy hops, citrus and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short citrusy hops aftertaste. Decent overall.
