Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a golden/orange color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of citrus, light malts. Taste is dank, citrus, some pine, fairly bitter. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is an enjoyable beer.

Dry excited to find cans of this highly rated beer in southeastern Pennsylvania. We can’t get Fatheads in Delaware, so I have to go over the line to PA. Scooped up a six pack as soon as I saw it and couldn’t wait to try it. From my reviews you can tell that I love this brewer but I will admit that after a while some of their beers start to taste the same. I think this beer is a little different but still a fantastic IPA. Great mouthfeel and beautiful citrus notes. Easy to drink for 7.5. It goes down easy and the alcohol is hidden. A great beer.

Poured into a wide mouth shaped goblet: color is gold, transparent, head is white/off white and presents 1 finger thick, then dissipates to ring and some lacing on the glass sides.

Smell is pine, citrus, dank, light sweet malt, hint of caramel.

Taste follows with pine, citrus, dank, light sweet malt/light caramel.

Mouthfeel is low/moderate carbonation, moderate sweetness, moderate bitterness.

Overall a full flavored, hoppy, solidly bitter IPA.
