Pours a slightly hazy copper-orange, with minimal head. Aroma has some citrus and tropical fruit elements. Flavor is citrus, with some hop-pine bitterness in the finish. Nothing too distinguished here.

Draught at the brewery, 5/27/17.
Heavily hazy, though not soupy, bronze-copper-golden with a medium-to-small, off-white head atop showing moderate to moderately-low retention.
Thoroughly spicy nose really highlighting the cascade. It’s like a big whiff of marmalade with juicy grapefruit and finally more pine and lemon on the finish, thanks to the Simcoe. A bit intense for me, and the cracker-like malt character, very sparse and dry itself only seems to intensify, or maybe more accurately, exacerbate things. Light scallion and a touch of catty character, but otherwise clean and still fairly low on resin despite all of the pine and grapefruit. No alcohol.
Spicy and fairly bitter, much more so than your typical NE IPA. Light green onion, grapefruit, pineapple and tons of orange rind and lemon. The malts are indeed very dry, crackery and while still reasonably deep/supple, provide almost zero sweetness for balance. As well, it’s a touch on the watery/loose side. Still, it’s interesting and good to see they’re not just pumping out the same old ubiquitous tropical fruit juice bomb IPA.
