On tap at the brewery. Pours a slightly hazy golden orange with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a combination of biscuit, sweet grains and a bit of earthy pine. Flavor is biscuit forward with grains and earthy pine supporting.

Bottle at UFO Factory. Slight hazy light golden with very big fluffy white head. Grapefruit, light mineral, grassy, pils malts, orange. Quite grassy and lots of grapefruit zest overpower the malts. Under medium sweet and over medium bitter. Medium bodied with a light dry touch of quite some carbonation.

Cloudy medium orange amber with a small white head that leaves some tight lace. Bready malt and honey and medium citrus on the nose with grapefruit dominant. Lightly sweet with a medium bitterness (not really picking up 85 IBUs). Medium- slick with average carbonation. OK.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 11/11/2014. Pours slightly hazy deep golden color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, floral, grass, honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical hops and moderate malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, floral, grass, honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fair amount of pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange zest, pine, homey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity and robustness of citrus/tropical hops and moderate malt sweetness; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, fairly crisp, and lightly creamy/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice and pleasant IPA. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical hops and moderate malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. No quite as boldly hoppy as I expected, but definitely a nicely enjoyable offering otherwise.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks troubles. Cloudy orange. Mild hoppy aroma of some overripe fruits and a bit of yeast. Flavor has light maltiness and bitter hoppiness, a bit citric.

Very clear golden coloured body with a zillion small bubbles rising from the bottom, a nice four centimetre tall just of-white head and no haziness at all. Aroma of fresh grapefruit and piney hops with a quite floral and grassy nose, a touch of malt and a very biting hop smell - nice. Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and floral hops at first with a good bitterness, but almost no malt at all to provide a backbone - this is just a big hop hit at first that fades to just about nothing in a very quick timeframe. Aftertaste shows a good herbal and grassiness, some straw and hay notes and a good hop bitterness without weighing down the beer. Overall, a decent IPA with more of a california-styled IPA, but this one is still worth trying if you can find it. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 02-August-2013 for US$1.79 sampled at home in Washington on 17-September-2013.
