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

Poured up on tap at the brewpub with copper with lasting off white head. The somewhat modest aroma emits citrus hops, hop resin and hop sweetness. The resin and sweetness seem to tussle it out for a bit. The taste seems to burst with hoppy goodness to the tune of pine and grapefruit as well as a tropical fruit notes or two. A modest pulse of malt sweetness shows up briefly before the hops ratchet back up the level of bitterness. The beer tosses hops at you and I’m only happy to catch them.

Can thanks to Daknole. Pours cloudy gold apricot. White head. Nose and taste of hops, pine needle, citrus and lots of malt. Medium body. Nose is stronger than the taste, which fell a little flat.

12 oz can from cbkschubert. Nose is pine and citrus with some background caramel malt. Not jump in your face but nice! Lightly hazy copper with a medium light beige head. Flavor is nicely bitter with some light caramel and a barely noticeable hint of background butter.
