Tap at Sedona. Pours golden with a small off-white head. Very strong hop aroma: pine like crazy as well as grapefruit. Flavor is in your face juicy grapefruit, pine, green pepper, light floral and tropical notes. Really really good.

16 oz. can shared by Chalumeaux, thanks! The color is a almost clear gold, with spider web lace on the snifter. The pleasant aroma of floral,sweet bread, mild grass and maybe all alcohol.

. The flavor is tropical hints mixed with grapefruit rind upfront. Alcohol is here but not overwhelming (unless you drink fast). More of a sipper for sure. Thanks for the share TJ! Very nice overall.

Poured from a 16oz can with a 10/15/2016 best by date; just making it under the wire. Aroma is rather hop forward, but the bright fruit notes are already starting to fade. Hops are resinous with pine and grapefruit dominating. Light orange and tropical fruit notes. medium light cracker malt notes with a hint of light caramel. Pours a slightly hazy, gold color with a medium large, moderately thick, white head that steadily recedes to a thin film that linger son the edges. Moderate lacing and smallish legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with some medium light cracker malt notes and some light caramel notes. Medium high bitterness with some light alcohol notes. Moderate hop flavors with grapefruit and pine resin dominating, but also some light tropical fruit and other citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low, but present alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent IPA, but not a particularly interesting one. Hop profile is a bit boring, and the fruity notes are fading into the typical grapefruit and pine resin.
