Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: transparent copper color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: bright piney to sweet oniony danky and grapefruity hop tones, super light honey dew comes out with more warmth; mild clean malts underneath
Flavor: bittersweet balance of the prior noted aromas; subtle crisp piney to oniony and honeydew to grapefruity tones in the finish
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability to this one; fairly smooth but also some hop assertiveness too.
Overall: I'd say a very nicely done IPA that seems to be coming across somewhat like a West coast styled IPA.

Golden-amber colour and small off-white head and lace. Neutral fruity aroma. Light-bodied to medium-bodied. Piney, citrusy flavour, clean. Very old school like IPA. Blast from the past.
