5 oz pour on tap. Pours a slightly cloudy straw yellow with an off-white head. Aroma and flavor feature a weird hop profile, kind of metallic and harsh with some booze. Not great.

Very nice smelling dipa reminds me of grapefruit skin in hop form. Color is rather light and has a hazy look head and lacing is excellent. Flavor is light and smooth almost onion like hop experience but smooth ethanol free finish
Not a bad beer just wish I liked the hop profile a bit more.

orange-yellow, a bit hazy, ample 1 finger head
weak aroma, blended and balanced

Pours a straw color with a copper hue and a finger of head. The nose is nicely piney and fruity. The flavors are quite subtle for an IPA that falls between a single and a double. The finish is nicely dry but wanting in the bitterness department.

L. Dull yellow-orange with a sudsy head reducing to bubbly patches and a fat ring in a few minutes.
S. Huge tropical and melon aroma. Pineapple, mango, peaches, nectarine, orange, some lemon perhaps.
T. More bitterness in the taste than in the aroma. Grapefruit, lemon, peach, some spiciness, tart apple, soft sweetness throughout. Clean, bitter aftertaste.
F. Light body, good carbonation.
O. I am really enjoying this. Enough bitterness but not too much, lots of flavor, easy drinking. It kinda reminds me of my mom's fruit salad, so of course I love it. Cheers!
