Hazy pale copper with a white head. Full of citrus, grapefruit, light candied fruit, and more grapefruit. Thin body. Finish is mostly grapefruit juice with light sugars. Easy and tasty, if you like grapefruit. At 5.5% the body is a bit thin. A fuller feel would boost this one up a bit.

22oz bottle from Walmart in Spokane
Pours clear light golden with a medium sized white head. Aroma is fruity, sweet and herbal. Taste of pine needles, grapefruit, crackers and grassy, bitter
Decent, but too bitter to be real good

On tap at Tomato Street. Pours clear golden with a thick off-white head with great retention. Aroma is piney, slightly floral, peachy--pretty muted. Taste is kind of bland, too. Chalky, lightly bitter. Tastes and looks more like a hop-forward blonde ale. Not bad, but kind of disappointing for No-Li. Post rating thoughts: grassy, grainy, nice lacing.

Bottle shared during the satellite Travlr 10K tasting at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Thanks to Fergus! Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. Tasty enough SIPA. Biscuity pale malts, some bitter lemon rind and pithy grapefruit. Light bodied with average carbonation. Dry pale malt finish with light grass and pine needles. Fine. (August 2014, Score: 3.4)

Bottle, shared at the satellite 10K tasting CBC Clerko thanks to Fergus, 19/08/14. Lightly hazed golden orange with moderately appointed off white spotting and edgework. Nose is citric peel, bread dough, orange pith, tea bag notes. Taste comprises melon, lemon rind, citric peel, straw, floral notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, grassy hop bitterness in the close. Ok SIPA - not sure about the tea bag aspect!

Sampled from bottle @ ChrisO after GBBF day 3. Clear light orange golden color,medium sized white head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is malts, a bit old hops. Taste malts, hops, slightly old hops and a touch of butter, decently bitter. Decent body and carbonation. No, this has something in it that is wrong.

Bottle share at the satellite 10k tasting at the craft clerko. Aroma is hop leaf, tea, biscuit malts, some berry. Pale golden with a lasting loose white head. Flavour is nice berry, tea, lavender, light resin hop. Palate is light and crisp with chalky carbonation and dry finish. Meh. Not really a session IPA.

Bottle thanks to Fergus. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The nose is sweet, doughy, grainy, grass, rich tea biscuits, brioche and citrus. The taste is crisp, bitter, grassy, toasted grain, grapefruit peel, pepper, alcohol and soap with a dry finish. Light-medium body and moderate carbonation. Crisp and crushable. Alright.
