On tap at Gig Harbor - Tacoma, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, bitter grapefruit rind, and a very thin biscuity malt base. Flavour is much the same with piney hops, grapefruit rind, and biscuity malt. Quite bitter and citric, with not the most harmonious or refined of hop expressions. Decent.

16 oz can poured. Soft cloudy golden appearance, good amount of lasting foam head. Aroma has some gentle bready malts up front. Slight orange as well. Sturdy malt backbone to this IPA, but it is quite balanced and refreshing in the end. Tingling orange peel like bitterness late, along with that gentle citrus forward hop quality. Crisp front, but body is a bit on the cream side. Smooth in the end, and a nice flavorful IPA overall. Enjoyed this one.
