This hazy, unfiltered pale ale is exclusively hopped with Eureka hops. The spicy tang and the floral aroma will leave you in love too

Growler from the brewery - cheers to AC. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, pure white head. Great aroma, dry and pithy, with lots of citrus, some pale malts. Light sweet flavour with heather pithy citrus, tangerine, mild rindy bitterness. Light-medium bodied with average carbonation. Fairly clean on the finish, with more pithy dryness, tangerine. Super clean, nice and drinkable.

64 oz. growler, thanks to Adamchandler. Massive hazy on this IPA. Aroma is awesome... Big citrus, big citrus, maybe tropical fruit and light grass.
The flavor is nice, grass, tropical fruit, citrus peel upfront with a moderate malt bill. Pale malts with a very moderate bitterness. Dry texture with medium body. The Brewer did a nice job here.

64 ounce growler picked up yesterday. Stored cold, split a few ways w/ some RBers
A - Really good appearance. Hazy burnt orange, a 2 finger creamy head, not sticky lacing at all.
S - Aroma is fairly predictable. Juicy, NZL hop profile, with a bit of grape skins, nectarine, peaches, pineapple. smells fantastic.
T - The hop profile here...well it’s a single hop which means you’re going to get the great and the crap. It starts off great, that initial bitterness is great then it fades to a very resin-heavy orange-rind yuck. It’s great if you’re really into a west coast style IPA. The malt backbone is heavily complimentary. A touch of table sugar, caramel, pretty impressive.
M - Decent mouthfeel. It lacks that dryness that I as a part time beer drinker have come to expect but truthfully, it’s not lacking in style, just lacking on what I’ve come to expect...my fault, not that of the brewery
O - Overall, I could have 2-3 pints before I could get tired of it.
