Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a clear gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up herbal green hops, thin pineapple, spicy earthy hops and then a vague earthy fruity hop sensation. The taste delivers a smooth blend of spicy hops, pineapple, bitter grapefruit and an earthy spicy bitter herbal sensation. It attains a tasty blend of hop bitterness and hop flavor as the finish approaches. Pretty easy drinking IPA with plenty going on to keep it interesting.

Poured up on tap at the brewing where it exhibits a clear copper body that has thin golden hues and supports a dirty white head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up spicy, floral, woody floral hops and then a thin grapefruit like citrus hoppy note. The taste delivers loads of good old school hoppiness with bitter spicy, floral, woody and then more floral hoppiness. Toward midway a modest malt sweetened citrus hop flavor sensation is noticed as the woodiness picks up a minty sort of facet to it. Pretty dange nice. Full on hop bitterness.

Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a clear deep gold body that supports a thin white head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The modest aroma offers up green earthy herbal leafy hops, spicy dank hops, thin pineapple and then a grapefruit sensation. The taste delivers spicy, herbal, grapefruit and kind of honeydew like hop bitterness and thin soft hop flavor. This creates plenty of hop bitterness and leads into a mild soft hop flavor sensation that's largely citrus and tropical. Pretty dange good IPA

Bottle from Bine & Vine. Pours ambery gold with a creamy/bubbly white head. Aroma is pretty much tropical fruit mix. Med body or so. Flavor is slightly roasty malt, and hops mostly suggesting tropical fruits. Plus citrus. It’s towards dry, and it is bitter. With low ABV it should be fun on the lake or beach.

Bottle from Bine & Vine. Pours gold with a slight white head. Aroma is bready with something citrus. Med minus body. Flavor is sort of citrus, sort of grassy and bready. Fresh and bitter. Not making me think of Anchor Steam, but maybe there’s a broader flavor range than the typical pils. Decent.

Pretty good American pale ale Style Beer. Aroma is fresh hops wet grain and a little malt. Flavor is a lot more interesting, fairly dry up front juicy grapefruit with a hint of resin rather bitter and a hint of sweet in the Finish. Great body and good drinking.
