Sample at Aces & Ales Tenaya. Clear pale golden color with a medium thin white head that burns away steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of dank citrusy hops and roast malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering grapefruit and hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

On tap at Bailey's Taproom, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of the citra hops, with lots of piney hops. Flavour is very potent with loads of piney hops and a creamy palate. Very flavourful and well-balanced. Another awesome hop bomb from Green Flash.

On tap at Flanny’s in Tempe during the tap takeover. It pours with a dirty gold to copper body with a slight haze that supports an off white head. The aroma exudes tall thick plumes of hoppy goodness like grapefruit, lime peel, a snippet of tropical fruit and a touch of grainy malts in the background. The taste has yummy fresh hops with slivers of lime, grapefruit and tangelo that have a pleasing degree of hop bitterness hitting about midway. Behind the hops is just enough body to keep this thing together. Lovely full flavored session brew.

Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured a bright golden color with a medium sized soapy off white head that left good lacing. The aroma was bitter, floral and perfumey hops with a bit of citric acid. The flavor was thin, bitter and watery with sharp floral, citric and perfumey hops. Medium length bitter floral and perfumey hop finish. Medium body. Meh.

So I am about #100 fpr tjhis beer. Yes it is fairly mild, but the server said this was listed as an IPA right on the keg. Pale yellow. Really nice lacing, really nice. Creamy head. taste is certainly not as offensive as a typical IPA. Fairly easy going. Hints of rubber in there. Bitter finish, almost atringent but not quite.

On tap at Belmont Station. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. A nice nose of biscuit and oranges. A clean mellow session brew: fresh oranges and lemons, light toasted biscuit. Very nice.
