Bursting with tropical aromas and juicy fruit flavors from Mosaic and Amarillo hops, this golden IPA is perfectly bitter with a refreshing, sublime finish.

Okay IPA, grainy and malt-heavy but with enough tropical-citric hops to keep up the IPA facade. Biscuit malts stay on top of a toasty backbone, with mild orange-pineapple fruitiness laced with berries around the edges. Grows moderately piney on the back end, but never grows overly resinous or clingy on the finish. Nice pine-citric aroma, and the pour's pretty enough, but not a standout among such a crowded style.

From a 355ml can on 30/8/2017. Pours a clear golden with a small head. Has a light fruity aroma. It begins with some sweet citrus and tropical fruit sweetness against a bread and biscuit malt background. The hops of relatively firm and spicy. The texture is slightl stick and the carbonation moderate.Very pleasant.

I actually bought a six pack of the same beer for first time in ages. Drank 4 while watching Federer sweat it out through 5 sets of opening round of US Open. Fine dirty gold pour head is normal. Nose is grapefruit and caramel. Tastes of the same plus honey suckle, tropical fruit and breads. Chewy palate. Kinda boozy. Rating 4th beer of pack.

12oz bottle pours with a clear copper body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a brief cantaloupe note before getting into tangelo and then a thin floral to pine hop sensation. The taste delivers a nice citrus hoppy bite that’s rimmed thinly by tangelo like juiciness. To midway a thin layer of woodsy and pine hops are noticed creating a bit more depth. Riding alongside those notes are mild sweet malts and faint caramel malts.

On Tap at PreFunk Boise Clear deep golden with a thin wispy white head and spots of lacing. Woody papery hop flavors. Light clean pale malts. Nothing special.

Purchased in Vermont. Pours a clean golden colour with a warm cap, great retention and thick foam lacing. Nice grapefruit aromas at first with the zest and juice, but then some weird mix of rusty water and floral hints take over. The taste is bitter, sharp with the hops. The same weird ones from the nose. Not really grassy, but chemical and floral tasting. Not sure what to make of this one, but not one I would have again. Like the label though.
