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

On tap at Westin Phoenix. Pours a dark clear amber with no head to speak of. Floral hops on the nose but that’s about it. Good bitterness and a long finish. Light to medium body with light carbonation. Very middle of the road iPA.

Got this in a trade with swingracex. 12 ounce can into pint glass, no canning date. Pours lightly hazy deep orange color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy cream colored head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Spotty foamy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, orange zest, tangerine, floral, pine, caramel, and light floral earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of hop and malt notes; with decent strength. Taste of grapefruit, orange zest, tangerine, floral, pine, caramel, light biscuit, and floral earthiness. Moderate amount of pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, citrus zest, floral, pine, caramel, light bread, and floral earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice flavor balance of bright hops with moderate malt; with a good bitterness/sweetness balance and no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a creamy and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good IPA. Nice complexity of hop flavors with well balance malt; and very smooth to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Can. Pours with a very mild hazed golden body with a small white head. Aromas are fruity, hoppy, citrusy, grassy, tangerine and oddly enough: a distinct raw celery note. Flavors are vegital, grassy, DMS, light cardboard (possibly hot side aeration type of thing or stale 2 row). Lively carbonation, dry, not particularly enjoyable.
