Perfectly clear peach and bronze coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely and leaves a pretty lace on the sides of the glass. Aroma of citrus fruit, light pine, biscuits, melons, grass and a dash of resin, all with some noticeable yeast and breadiness towards the end of the nose. Medium-bodied; Strong rich malty, biscuity bite with a dash of flowers, some grass, hay and soft grainy notes, all with some citrus fruit bitterness and cleanser-like notes for added hoppy characteristics along with some soft sweetness and a little tropical fruit note of mangoes as well. Aftertaste shows some grassy and herbal notes, but the main driver here is the orange fruitiness and a good balance of malts that really give this support, all the way through. Overall, a nice and enjoyable, relatively easy-drinking, yet fruity and flavourful iPA, plain old East Coast style, relatively average in alcohol with no true gimmicks, what a relief for once! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 27-November-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 30-November-2020.

Lots of lime here. Pours orange with decent head. Tangy finish with decent malt backbone. Decent and easy drinking. Not much bitterness, mostly citrus tang in finish.

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run, 1/7/20. Cool there's a brewery in Danville. Hope this is good. Hazy orange, thin tan head, good retention. Aroma of dank, tea leaves, lemon, pale malt. Seems dry. Taste is lemon, grapefruit, pale malt, hints of tropical fruit. Medium bodied, moderate bitterness, decent balance. This is legit.

Medium amber pour with foam and lace. Floral aroma and hops. Bitter floral grapefruit taste and a bitter dry palate.
