Taster at brewery. Hazy golden pour, thin, fine head. Light citrusy aroma. Taste is grapefruit with some pale malts for balance. Pretty smooth overall.

Perfectly clear orange and light copper coloured body with a very thick, seven to eight centimetre tall tan head that looks very nice, albeit tall. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, full oranges, pungent candy, alcohol and a dash of perfume, all with some noticeable dry hopping and bitterness. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours dominate at first, but all give way to bunches (and heaps) of citrus flavours, especially full oranges, grapefruits and a lot of citrus candy, complete with a touch of an acidic bite. Aftertaste shows the good balance of malt and relatively pungent grass note, complete with a smooth yeast bite and noticeable alcohol, but the flavours remain with both the bitterness and the citrus fruits. Overall, a very nicely constructed and executed citrus-based IPA with a lot of dry and grassy notes with a pleasant bitter reminiscent of the older East Coast IPAs with a lot of hops that aren't trying to be 'new school. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Giant in Manassas, Virginia on 19-May-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-June-2020.

Draft at 2 Silos Brewing - December 28th 2019 trip. Poured a clear golden orange color with a small, slightly off-white head. Aroma was hoppy, but perhaps a bit more malt-forward than I expected it to be. I got plenty of light lemon and orange peel from this one. Medium bitterness.

Lots of citrus and some pine. Nice mixture, and great beer overall. Pours hazy orange with good head and lacing. Bitter end. Can.
