Can. Hazy deep golden body. Off-white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, pine, toasted grain, orange. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/sticky texture, lively carbonation. Taste of grapefruit, citrus, orange. Sweetness carries into the finish, but nice bitterness to round things out.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a semi-hazy copper to gold sort of color with a finger’s worth of eggshell white foamy head that died off at a nice pace. Some messy lace.
The aroma had some citrusy rind-like bitterness playing with a nice clean malt base.
The flavor somewhat blends between the malts and the hops in a semi-sweet sort of manner. Slidingly sweet hoppy/malt aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt good as projected by the brewer.
Overall, nicely done AIPA well worthy of having again.

This brew is a hazy copper-gold color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Citrus, hops and malt aromas. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, piney hops and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hops aftertaste. Above average overall.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/8/2016. Pours hazy golden orange color with a 1-2 finger 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, pineapple, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pine, caramel, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of bright/juicy citrus/pine hops and moderate dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, 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, pineapple, lemon/orange rind, pine, caramel, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of bright/juicy citrus/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 it is not unpleasant. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, sticky/resinous, and moderately creamy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a great IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of bright/juicy citrus/pine hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink, even with the aggressive/resinous bitterness. A very enjoyable offering.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy orange with a gold hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of citrus with a bit of grapefruit and a sweet grain backbone. Flavor has sweet orange citrus throughout with a sweet grain backbone and a hint of grapefruit.
