Rosy-gold, pretty high clarity with a smattering of off-white head atop that recedes steadily to a ring.
Smells like pine and grapefruit with just a touch of softer fruitiness and light earth. Woody, lightly resinous notes and some more earth. Not all that aromatic.
In the mouth it's dry, lacking in texture to even balance the 30 IBUs here. Pine and grapefruit, but no juiciness or particularly bright, clear, interesting notes like you get from, say, an English golden ale with an Amarillo dry hop. Just kind of tastes blandly citric and moderately bitter. Some softness emerges with warming, though no sweetness follows. No alcohol or flaw. I guess if you like cracker/biscuit malt and straightforward orange and grapefruit rind, than this should work for you.

Can. Crazy bright red color (from beets?) - very tasty IPA. App around very unique and goos

Beets, orange peel nose. Clear ruby red, medium pink head. Beets, orange peel. Medium body, easy carbonation, slightly waxy mouthfeel. I didn't like this a bit. No sir, I didn't like it.
