16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. Honestly, the easy way to get me to snag a single of your IPA is to brew it in the west coast style. Very refreshing to find this more classic and delicious hoppy brews. Clean golden appearance. Lots of foam head and lacing. Has a distinct grapefruit note, though mellow. Citrus forward aroma. Crisp first sip, cool follow. Gentle grassy notes pair with grapefruit and biscuit grains. Cool and crisp finish. Delicious brew.

Honestly, I don't know what the description is talking about. Orange body with thick white head. Full citrus and herb aroma. Full flavour with a hop spine. Full finish

Draft pour pint enjoyed at Josh's Taps and Caps. Cloudy golden orange appearance. Thin film head. Glad to see se less than typical styles making their way to my local from these guys. Nutty grain nose. Flavor has toasty malt notes, with a cool side to it. Sharp bitter finish. Refreshing ESB, with lots of layered malt flavor that lingers. Easy drinking, flavorful, with a lighter abv. Solid brew overall.

On tap, The Onion in Spokane. A flat dirty yellow pour with a thick white head. Light citrus and sweet aroma. Tastes somewhat sweet and grassy with small citrus infusions. Some pithy bitterness.

Draft pour pint enjoyed at Route 2, Monroe. Refreshing, enjoyable pale here. Pours a mostly clean pale gold with a thin, frothy head. Sweet, melon like hops linger on the palate. Grassy note late. Light, but not lacking flavor. And certainly not refreshment. Solid warm weather brew.

Enjoyed a pint on tap at Route 2, Monroe. I feel like pilsners like this are heavily weighted depending on the temperature outside and the activity surrounding it. I've spent the last 5 hours outside in the hot sun, so this is amazing!!! I'll try to chill out for a second to give an accurate rating.. Alright. It's still solid. Clean golden pour with a moderate rocky foam head. Grassy nose, subtle but inviting. Crisp first sip, has a touch of grassiness and a soft lemon like hint. Somewhat of a creamy mouthfeel after an initial crisp. Touch of straw, touch of corn. Not overly flavorful, but its tasty and very refreshing. Well executed pils.

On tap at The Beer Junction, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops and crisp biscuity malt — pretty standard. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops, some citrus, and crisp biscuity malt. The hop expression isn't all that powerful, feeling quite citric and neutered. Okay.

Sampled from the tap at Loyal Legion. Pours a hazy light orange with a slight amber hue and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has bright melon and citrus with a bit of mango and grain backing. Flavor has sweet citrus and a bit of herbal grass with some sweet grains backing.
