16oz can. A pretty solid modern APA. Has some malt depth, not much. Juicy hop tone, but a pinch of bitterness in there as well. Very drinkable. Good beer.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has straw and grass with a bit of biscuit and citrus rind supporting. Flavor has biscuit and pine with earthy citrus underlying.

Sample at the taproom. Slightly cloudy golden color with a medium white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Light to medium body with flavors of floral hop, citrus and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

Golden color under a frothy head. Tropical fruit nose with a slight backing of pine bitterness. Taste is plenty juicy, worth tropical fruit and Mandarin orange. As good an example of a juicy IPA as I can think of. And it's at the Tivoli Bowl, so my first bowling alley beer in many years.
