Soft, smooth mouthfeel that is vibrant with hops. Hazy and heavenly. Notes of orange creamsicle, candied Meyer lemon, fresh papaya + mango.

Pours a slightly hazy amber from a tap, aroma of grapefruit and lemon, flavor similar, light with little malt backbone, a bit thin. Good beer.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Tom L. Hazy yellow with a white head. Fruity hops aroma, a bit lemony. Flavor is quite dry, with mild to moderate bitterness, slightly sweetish fruity hops. Quite light-bodied.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a decent looking semi-hazy orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds. Light stringy lacing slid into the beer.
The smell started off with a light tropical citrus to a light pine.
The taste copied the smell leading into the aftertaste and a dry bitter finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionable sticky bitterness over my tongue.
Overall, this was a pretty good IPA, might not be one to go with food, but I’d have again.

Pours gold into a shaker. Resin aromas. Dry with caramel upfront turning to tropical fruit before the lasting pine resin finish.

Draft @ Dover Brickhouse. Hazy straw gold color with lasting head in a standard shaker glass. Floral and grapefruit peel in the aroma with a mild honey hint.
The flavor is much like the aroma with the honey sweetness giving balance to a nice hop profile of grassy, grapefruit and pine array. The body is lighter yet refreshing with a nice crispness. The bitterness has a good lingering affect with a dry ending. I could have drank a few more of these if I didn’t have to drive. Otherwise it is a IPA that can be drank easily.
