Pretty hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, relatively fast-dying off-white and tan head above a mostly clear body with tons of very small bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of pine, grass, perfume and a good dose of lime zest and lime juice - very strong in the nose with even a slight hint of tequilla. Medium-bodied; Pretty bitter hops show at first with a distinct lime and floral, piney and quite resinous flavour here with a dry, grapefruity finish and some soft malts towards the end. Aftertaste shows a kick of flowers and a good deal of citrus with the grapefruit and especially the limes coming out at the end. Overall, a nice and older-schooled IPA with a distinct lime, citrus and resinous kick with way more hops than malt and a good pungency for those who like IPAs the way they were meant to be. I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at the brewery here in Cape Charles, Virginia on 24-February-2023 for US$7,50 with my dad while visiting the Eastern Shore.

Nice, fresh and bitter west coast IPA. Sharp grapefruit and pine. Pours golden amber with ok head and great lacing. Very bitter rind like finish. Hint of florals. Tap at brewery.
