On tap at Brick in Phoenix. Pours clear copper with small head that clings well. Nice pine nose with citrus undertones. Medium silky body and medium carbonation. Medium bitterness from start to finish. Decent IPA but nothing to make it stand out.

On draught at Yard House in Scottsdale. Pours a clear orange-gold color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of herbal hops, fruit and roast malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

Got in a trade with AZBeerDude72. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 8/31/2019. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy deep golden/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice capo that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, passion fruit, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, passion fruit, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, passion fruit, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly crisp/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.7%. Overall this is a delicious IPA, All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish; not aggressive. Great Cascade, Glacier, Liberty, Magnum, Simcoe profile. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice clean bready malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made old school West Coast style example.

Can thanks to Pat! Pours a clear gold with a slight orange hue with a eggshell white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has a nice citrus and grass hop with a light bread backing. Flavor has a decent amount of citrus with a bit of flora and a grain backing.
