16 oz. can thank at Chalumeaux with this share. Hazy Amber golden color. It smells like grapefruit juice, tastes like grapefruit juice. Where is the blood orange? The finish of this IPA is grapefruit peel. It is confusing why it tastes like grapefruit juice, but it is still pretty decent.

I got this bottle in a trade with DLucky. Thanks Dan!

It pours a clear orange gold with a 1 finger head of foam that shrinks quickly to just a ring around the glass. Lacing is close to nonexistant.

The smell is both hoppy and malty. Good citrus notes with some orange and lemon, and a caramel malt nose that also brings some candy sugar-like sweetness.

The taste is of grapefruit and lemon that packs some good bitterness and a bready malt base that's backed up by caramel malt sweetness. The finish is slightly bitter in this light bodied IPA and there's little to no aftertaste.

Overall, I think this is a pretty good example of the style. It just lacks a bit of assertiveness with the flavours, imho.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Andover Liquors. Appearance is light orange with yellow-green tinge, fair sparkle, finger-width foamy head with poor retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is tart funkiness (not sure is intentional)--almost metallic in nature--over bread with citrus. Taste is tart/metallic over bread/caramel and light resin. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, this feels very retro, but not in a cool way. Skippable.
