Light hops, not too shabby.

16 oz can poured, gifted by Erika. Thanks! Glowing golden orange pour with a moderate haze and rocky foam head. A nice mellow balance of grains and orange like hops on the aroma. A bit of a hybrid IPA, mix between the two coasts, and a bit of the middle as well. A nuicy side to.it, but bold grain comes through in the flavor. Dusty malts, juicy, yet bitter hop finish. Fun, tasty IPA here.

Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a slightly hazy orange-gold color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, resiny hops and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy orange gold with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is pine and citrus. Medium body, bubblegum, grapefruit, light bitterness, good.
