Tap. Pours crystal clear golden amber, small of white head, some lacing. Aroma is dank, tropical, pot, mango, melon. Flavor is light plus sweet, medium bitter, tropical and dank, not harsh. Some citra and simcoe influence for sure. Medium body, soft mouthfeel.

On tap, 5oz pour at the brewery. Poured a clear golden color, medium sized fluffy white head. Aroma was bitter grapefruit. Flavor was similar, some pine notes, resin, lots of bitter grapefruit zest. Alcohol is present in this one. A decent IPA, but is just a bit too bitter for me to completely love it.
