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

Can. Orange malt and pine aroma. Hazy amber with small head. Sweet orange malt and moderately bitter metallic pine flavor. Okay - kind of bland.

Can from gordito. Pours a dark orangish amber with a bit of haze and a decent head. Aromas are pineapple and a bit of resin. Flavor is yummy. Lots of balance with a decent resin, orange, pineapple and a hint of passion fruit. Darn good beer.

Location: Draft at Bink's, 3/7/14
Aroma: The aroma has some grapefruit hops, a little pine, caramel, floral, and earthy notes
Appearance: A clear copper-orange with an average off-white head and some average lace
Flavor: The flavor is much the same, light-medium sweet and medium-plus bitter
Palate: The body is medium, it has a solid mouthfeel, and a clean, lightly dry finish
Overall Impression: This is a solid IPA. It isn't a standout in the style, but it was a more than drinkable example.

Can - Citrus and grapefruit. Clear gold with a decent white head. Citrus notes with some lemon and grass in the finish. The Nelson hops really show up and for me overwhelm a bit too much.

Can. It’s a clear, dark golden to amber beer with a dense, off-white head. The aroma is on the hoppy side, with pine cones and orange peel, some maltyness. The flavor has a pleasant bitterness, with orange peel, grapefruit and pine cones. Unfortunately, all too weak for an IPA. Full body, soft carbonation, quite dry. Bitter, citrusy finish with some grapefruit. A pretty tasteful one, but it lacks the punch I’d want from my IPA’s. 130819

A dark amber ipa with a thin lacing mocha head. In aroma, very classic pungent floral hops over biscuit malt, nice. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with loads of floral hops, grapefruit pulp, resinous and intense, west coast like. No surprises here. On tap at Radisson PHX airport bar.
