From tap. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is crisp hoppy, light citrusy. Bitter and crisp hoppy. Dry and ruity into a smooth hoppy finish.

On tap. Interesting, but not as expected (I had the bartender double check that he poured the correct beer). Pours with a very effervescent clear golden to light orange hued body with a large, foamy, bone hued head. Aromas are floral, tea, nice bready, nearly pils like malt. Spicy, grassy, herbal hop character with low citrus. Very low esters. Quite clean and almost West Coast Pilsner like. Flavors are grassy, bready, citrus, light orange. Nice malt character, very clean, medium bitterness with a light bitter balance. Not IPA like in the slightest, but still a very clean, solid and well made beer without a standard American IPA hop profile. Very lively bubbles, dry, clean, crisp, light body.

Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Light grapefruit aroma. Light grapefruit and light pine flavor with light malt. Medium bodied. Light grapefruit and light pine lingers. Nice lingering bitterness.

Draught at Lucky Baldwins, Pasadena, California. Hazy golden, small head. Light grapefruit aroma. Dry, clean and crisp. light bodied - perhaps too much so. Quite hoppy with medium bitterness. A very drinkable summer beer, but the light body in combination with clean mouthfeel makes it a bit sharp. Scaling their regular IPA down didn’t really work all that well, but it’s stil a worthwile effort.
