12oz bottle, courtesy of gregwilsonstl, pours with a clear copper body that supports a dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up sweet citrus, a dash of malts, some mango and then a mild resiny spicy hoppiness at the end of the draw. The taste delivers pleasing citrusy hops that are malt sweetened into a juicy sensation. Grapefruit and tangerine hop bitterness quickly fills in behind and heading into a dash of spicy hop bitterness. This is a straight up tasty hop treat where the decent size ABV is hardly noticeable. This may even venture into the realm of dangerously drinkable.

Bottle sampled at a tasting event. From notes. Citrus and tropical fruits with a hint of pine. Very good.

Bottle. Hazy medium orange body, thick puffy, pillowy cream head. Chewy, slick, oily sugared grapefruit and orange nose; floral. Hot, sharp body with citrus peel; sweet and kind of sickly with sugared bitter rind and prickly alcohol. Rough palate and too sugary once the alcohol wears off.

Pours a clear pale amber color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of citrus, herbal hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of citrusy hops, sweet malt and a bit of spice. The finish is moderately bitter with a zesty citrus aftertaste. Really tastes like a straight up IPA not a IIPA but it is still decent.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is a hop with bit of honey malt. Flavor is more of a juicy fruit hop with a minor honey/caramel malt in the backround. Leaves some pineapple flavor on the tounge after the swallow. It’s not bad as an IPA but not a bitter palate destroyer as most impy IPA’s.
