12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy gold amber with a white head. Citrus, floral, tropical hop aroma blend. Flavor has citrus and floral hops, fairly bitter, some pine and tropical flavors, with some pale malts backing things up. The bitterness is nice.

tap at the brewery - This brew smells mainly of citrus accented hops. It has a good, crisp bitter flavor with citrus and pine. Medium to full bodied, it has a long, hoppy finish. Very good.

22 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 9/18/2013. Pours moderately hazy and cloudy orange amber color with a 2 finger dense cream colored head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of orange zest, lemon zest, tangerine, mango, peach, pineapple, floral, grass, light pine, light caramel, bread, and floral earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good complexity of hop notes with a moderate malt balance; and good strength. Taste of big orange zest, tangerine, lemon zest, mango, pineapple, peach, floral, grass, light pine, light caramel, bread, and floral earthiness. Fair amount of pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, citrus zest, mango, pineapple, peach, floral, grass, light pine, light caramel, and bread on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity of citrus/tropical hop flavors; with a moderate malt balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a lightly creamy, crisp, and moderately sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a highly excellent single hop IPA! All around awesome complexity of hop flavors with a moderate malt balance; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.
