Incredible head with great clarity and a bright orange glow. Lots of lacing
Smells of biscuit and bread with some honey and herb.
Taste is bitter enough to be an IPA but not enough diverse hop flavor. Pretty much one-note on the herb side of things. There is a bit of orange but not enough. Sweetness is mild as well but with some great malty, bread flavors that resonate through to the finish.
Mouthfeel is almost perfect, but a bit thin for my liking. Carbonation is silky smooth and active.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance - The brew is served a clear golden color with a one finger head of puffy white foam. The head fades slowly over time to leave a moderate level of streaky lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell - The smell begins with a hoppy smell of citrus and pine mixed with some cracker malt and a touch of caramel. Along with these smells comes some light fruit smells of tangerine and peach as well as a touch of a herbal and grassy smell.
Taste - The taste begins with a somewhat crisp malt flavor that has some lighter tangerine flavors. From the start there is a rather decent showing of a grapefruit hop as well as a little bit of pine. As the taste advances the grapefruit fades a little bit all while the pine gets stronger and is joined by some herbal hop flavors. Toward the end a tiny bit of grass join the rest and with a loss of some of the fruit that was upfront, one is left with a more crisp and citrus and pinny hop taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel - The body of the brew is average in thickness and creaminess with a carbonation level that is rather average. For the mix of hop and crisper malt the feel is rather nice and makes for a easy drinker.
Overall - A rather decently crisp and hopped brew overall. Nothing super exceptional, but nice none the less.

Pours a deep, golden yellow with hints of copper. Decent amount of head and head retention. Carbonation looks average. Mix of pine and citrus on the nose with a malty sweetness in the background. Taste follows the nose pretty well, with the addition of some herbal soapiness and light fruits. Definitely hop-forward, the malts only come through very quickly towards the swallow and give way to pine and grapefruit rind on the finish which lingers. The mouthfeel is smooth and crisp, I feel like the water used is of high quality with perhaps some mineral content. Overall this is a decent AIPA, but not one of my favorites, a bit too soapy for me.
