Pours hazy orange with a fluffy white head. Aroma of tangerine. Taste has pine, citrus, tropical notes, slightly boozy. Palate has pine oils, nondescript hop oils with a nice soft bite. Good.

Pours golden with a thin white head. Aroma of honey, yeast, sweetened malt. Taste has light malt base, smattering of floral hops, bitterness across the tongue. Palate has some burnt honey, continuation of those same delicate hop notes. Great light beer.

Pours golden with a thick white head. Immediate aroma of grassy hops cut with a sharp grapefruit note. Taste has pine and resinous grapefruit, floral. Palate has citrus on the nose, malty base. Eh.

Ever so slightly hazy, beautiful pink grapefruit and orange coloured body with a relatively thin, single centimetre tall off-white head that is microfoamed, just way too short. Aroma of grass, grapefruit, hay, very subtle malt and not much else - a touch of bitterness and astringency from the hops. Light-bodied; Dry, very citrusey flavours with the grapefruit showing first, with a lot of grass and piney hops as well, and there is a touch of sweetness that comes from the fruits, but those grapefruit notes are basically only reserved for the bitterness. Aftertaste shows some light grass and hay, a touch of malts and very fragrant floral elements, but as the name implies - this is all about the grapefruits, with a lot of dryness and some alcohol, but quite bitter throughout. Overall, a nice grapefruit-based IPA that I wish had more malt for support and a touch more complexity, but for the style, pretty spot-on and enjoyable for an IPA-lover, at least! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Wegman's in Woodbridge, Virginia on 18-April-2020 for US$1,87 sampled on the same day, 18-April-2020 at my house here in Washington.

Can (3/5/20) pour from Harvest Market, Bedford (R.I.P.). Appearance is clear light brown-yellow with light, lazy sparkle, finger-width foamy off-white head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong fruit (apricot), caramel sweetness, pine (pine fades as it warms). Taste is a mirror of aroma, though pine hangs around a bit more. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and sweet finish as taste. Overall, kind of a retro (2014?) experience with malt high in the mix (as advertised) and a surprising lack of expected characteristics from those hops. That being said, there's nothing wrong with it and I haven't had anything like it in quite some time so it is sort of a welcome change.

16 oz. can shared by tfontana, proper social distancing at 14 feet away on my back porch. Aroma is apricot, sweet malt, yeast. Flavor is a direct duplicate. Malt is more dominant and hops. On the sweet side.

Corked bottle. Rosé color. Cherry, vanilla, oak and marzipan in the aroma. Sweetish sour flavor. Cherry, oqak. vanilla, lemon and marzipan. Thinnish, but pleasant, well rounded and very drinkable.
