Perfectly clear golden and light copper coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall tan head that fades quickly. Aroma of grapefruit (of course), grass, hay, light flowers and a dash of both yeast and alcohol. Medium-bodied; Very bitter and pungent grapefruity and citrusey characteristics show with some alcohol and even cleanser-like notes with a tiny dose of malt, not really balancing out the strong bitterness, but it's nice, especially for the style. Aftertaste is very crisp and dry with the large hit of grapefruit and citrusey characteristics, but also some dry grassiness and hay flavours, without much malt, alcohol or complexity. Overall, a nice, relatively easy-drinking, but very enjoyable grapefruity and citrusey IPA, just like the better East Coast IPAs of old days! Great to sample, especially fresh! I sampled this pint-sized, sixteen ounce can, purchased from K-1 Beer and Wine in Arlington, Virginia on 07-June-2020 for US$2,99 sampled at my house here in Washington, just four days later, on 11-June-2020.

Slightly hazy, deep copper and orange coloured body with a bronze glow, and a thinnish single centimetre tall off-white head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of grass, hay, flowers, light earth and a tiny bit of fruits, with mangoes, apricots and peaches noticeable. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours show up front with a lot of malt and bitterness at first, but then the fruit and acidic side shows up a little more and balances things out nicely with a light dose of sweetness at the end that still shows the fruits, but also some other notes. Aftertaste is relatively uneventful with only a mellow fruit and malt note showing through without any real pungency or character and only a sliver of bitterness from hops here at all. Overall, a pretty underwhelming beer with only a moderate amount of fruits, hardly any bitterness and just a touch of malt, without too much hop flavours either. Worth passing up, even after you see it over and over, like I did! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 02-April-2020 for US$2,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 07-April-2020, just five days later, a few blocks away.

Pours black without much head. Pretty thin overall - kind of like fake orange juice from McDonalds with some booze. A hint of roast. Sweet finish. Tap.
