Pour is a hazy orange with a average white head. Aroma is a real nice tangerine and mango hoppyness wth cornucopia of other citrus fruit. Flavor is another nice blast of citrus fruit. Some grapefruit and stone fruit both make appearances. This is also a bit sweeter than I thought it would be but that doesn’t really distract from the hops. I did not know what to expect from this beer, I thought it would be just another run of the mill IPA but it turned out to be really solid.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours light gold with a white head. Aroma suggests cat pee. Med body or nearly. Flavor is citrus and fruit, maybe a little earth; malt/caramel is barely detectable by me, but there’s enough to support a very decent amount of hop. Flavors aren’t rich and strong, but this isn’t a DIPA after all.
