A Southwestern IPA that jolts your senses with a bolt of exotic Nelson-Sauvin hops, dosing out an intense aroma of apricots and peaches.

Draft pour pint at SanTan Sky Harbor. Copper amber pour, lots of foam head and lacing. Bitter and malty IPA. Lots of flavor going on here. Biscuit forward grain, some caramel. Pine heavy, late lingering big bitterness. Aggressive near imperial IPA, and i enjoy that. Tasty brew.

Can at Two Brothers Taphouse, Scottsdale. Clear dark amber with a large head. Aroma of hops, caramel, citrus and resin. The same in the taste. Quite sweet and with a medium bitter finish.

On tap at SanTan, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of piney hops upfront, followed by dry bready malt. Flavour is not the most expressive in the hops other than a strong astringency. Dry biscuity malt underpins this. It's okay.

12 oz can. Pours a hazy deep amber with a light beige head. Aroma is citrus and pine. Taste has initial notes of citrus, sweetness and fruitiness, but the dominant features are a fairly piney bitterness and a substantial caramel malt foundation. It’s different than a lot of IPAs out there, but it’s decent.

Can: Poured an orange with white head. Aroma is juicy hoppy. Nice hoppy bite that has some soft malt balance.

Draft at the source. Clear golden color, thick head. Aroma of white pepper and straw. Taste is bitter peppery straw. Kind of old school.
