Tangerine orange in color, clean & clear, with a bright white head. Head is large and foamy. Nice bits of stringy and spotty lace shift around.

This beer is different every time I have it. Sometimes it's darker and greener in its hoppiness and other times it hits more as tropical and fruity. This bottle seems to be leaning in the direction of fruity-tropical. Bright citrus, melon, lifesavers pineapple flavor, and passionfruity. Happy and refreshing hop aromas over clean caramel and crackery/grainy malt. Flavors are lightly sweet and briskly bitter, melon, citrus, other miscellaneous fruit, dusting of pine, hint of citrus rind and bitter grapefruit. All around enjoyable. The dark side of this is coming out more as it warms. Seemingly simple with a pleasant mix of flavors.

Had the Jade IPA in both can and the long neck bottles. Refreshing pine overtone, and subtle after taste on the palette. Very enjoyable on a hot day. Need to bring som home up north.

What most West Coast IPAs wish they were. Uses its hops beautifully, boldly, and with finesse, as opposed to cramming them into some sticky pour you have to fight to finish. Nose is pretty one-dimensional but delicious. Flavors of tropical fruits (pineapple, coconut, papaya), citrus (grapefruit without the pith), pine bitterness, and just enough peppery spice to make it stand out at the end. Up there with Raging Bitch.

Pours golden with a 1.5" white head, which lasts. Moderate lacing. Slight haze.

Aroma is floral, orange, lemon, grapefruit, slight grass.

Taste is grapefruit, lemon, pine, black pepper.

Medium body, lively carbonation. Dry, resinous finish.

Another very good IPA.
