Pour is a clear copper with a uber large white head. Aroma is all pine and grapefruit hops. Flavor is more grapefruit and pine hops. Bitterness is there but not as bitter as I thought it was going to be. Citrus and pine resin dominating. Very early 2000's IPA and the alcohol is nowhere to be felt.

Can to tulip.
Though the description above might not say it, the truth about this beer is thay it takes the Sip of Sunshine recipe and they brewed it bigger, therefore not a full review from me here other than the fact that it's way more of a sipper now because of the higher ABV. I could come back to this.
