Poured up on tap at BRI, within an hour of its first tapping, where it exhibits a perfectly opaque deep papery gold body that has thin copper hues and supports a thin off white head. The aroma comes from an aroma killing tumbler glass where I get inviting levels of pineapple and pink grapefruit. The tumbler didn’t inhibitor the aroma much at all. The taste delivers juicy pineapple blended with mango and ripe juicy tangelo. The hop bitterness ramps up some toward midway with bitter pineapple, pink grapefruit and a mild grassy to pine like hoppiness. Solid IPA with plenty of depth and balance.

Can from Final Gravity in Roseville, CA. Pours brassy gold with a transient white head. Aroma is full of fruits and it smells juicy. Med + body. Flavor starts mango, moves to citrus and then goes beyond my ability to parse. It’s juicy. Lots of fruit flavor and flavors. Not quite dry, but it is very nicely bitter. Malt? Sure. Not at all harsh. Way back in my mouth it’s trying to yell dank! But it’s only pretending. Still it is hoppy as all heck, and the bitter is solid. Crazy, great ale.
