3.63/5  rDev -0.3%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Pours a hazy amber-brown. Nice off-white, slightly tan head. Some lacing down the glass.
Juicy grapefruit aromas with pine and grass rounding out the hop aromas. Some caramel malts, but not a lot.
Grapefruit dominates the flavors too. Not so much grapefruit rind, but a segment of grapefruit with the rind still on it. Piney flavors come next. Toasted caramel malts round out the flavors.
Medium bodied. Good carbonation. A little oily from the hops, but the flavors don't linger for very long.
Pretty drinkable. Low ABV and good flavors could make this an all night drinker.
Pretty surprised with how much I liked it. This is a "hop bomb" for an APA. Not as malt balanced as some West Coast IPAs I've had recently, but this is still quite good. Recommended.

look: 4.25 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3
Poured from a 12 ounce can into a Shaker pint glass, "enjoy by" date "MAR 30 2018".

APPEARANCE: pours a hazy, copper color with one-finger tan head that slowly dissipated until a thin, unbroken layer of small bubbles remained, there is significant lacing on the glass, medium carbonation.

SMELL: caramel and toasted bread, faint to the nose.

TASTE: the taste follows the nose, initially sweet caramel then toasted bread and finishes with a slightly metallic hop profile.

PALATE: medium body and carbonation.

OVERALL: this is a malt forward beer and I'm not a fan of toasted malt so this beer is not for me, it's not a bad beer or poorly made just not my thing.

L: Light Amber orange color, looks almost like iced tea. A medium head and some nice lacing on the glass.

S: Lots of toasted bread, some pine and floral hops. Not an overly strong aroma. For a hoppy session, I expect more hop.

T: Toasted brown bread, with notes of pine and some spicy floral hops, and a light bitterness. A little oniony flavor. Some black tea flavor. The taste is stronger than the aroma.

F: Light body mouthfeel is slick.

O: For a hoppy session beer this is a little malty but still drinkable.
