A: Hazy, opaque orange body, almost like a pulpy blend of grapefruit and orange juice. Head quickly dissipates with OK lacing.
S: Grapefruit. Tart, citrus hops. Sweet orange.
T: Tart grapefruit and citrus. Finishes with sweet orange juice and very mild bitterness.
M: Full bodied, almost juice-like MF with an effervescent finish. Like an undercarbonated mimosa.
O: Delicious, juicy IPA. Would make for an awesome breakfast beer.

This is my first review, so please bear with me. I'm probably not quite there yet with getting my numbers in line with my thoughts.
Had my trusty 32 oz growler filled on 08/07/2014 and poured into my teku glass on glass on 08/08/2014. Beer fridge temp to start.
Appearance: Pours and orangish hazy body with a bubbly white head that slowly dissipates to a lacing on top.
Smell: Hit of citrus with with what I want to call a piney hop smell in the back.
Taste: As promised by the smell I get a juicy sweet tropical/citrus taste to start that has some tartness in there as well. Finishes with moderate to mild bitterness. Tastes blended more as the beer warmed.
Mouthfeel: I'll call this medium. Right in line with what I'd want for an IPA with the perfect amount of carbonation.
Overall: A rather satisfying IPA. Digging the juicy hop punch, especially on a warm day. Wish there was a little something more to balance the bitterness at the end but all in all I'd call this a successful collab.
