Appearance - 10 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5

Appearance is attractive clear golden yellow with tons of sparkle, finger-width foamy off-white head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is orange and also lemon citrus, somewhat astringent alcohol, bready/caramel malt, bitter. Taste has roots in a typical West Coasty DIPA with sweet vague, nondescript fruit and malt well balanced with strong bitterness without a lot of hop flavor. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin, frothy texture, soft carbonation, pleasant alcohol warmth in esophagus and finish as taste. Overall, OK but not terribly strong flavors and doesn't distinguish itself. A bit clear and light for the style. Brewer advised it was Loral, Amarillo and Simcoe.
