Draught @ As Is, Manhattan NYC (June 2025). Clear rich golden with a large foamy off-white head, faint orange peel aroma, adequate carbonation, bitter orange peel taste with light piney flavor, thin body, long bitter finish. Good West Coast IPA but I did not get much from the multitude of hops.

Aroma has notes of pine, grapefruit rind, overripe mango. Taste is moderately bitter with crisp, clean hoppy flavors, with pine standing out in particular.
