I had this on draught at the brewery. 16 oz. pour served in a tulip glass. It pours an opaque, bright golden color with a large, bright white head and lacing that persisted through the pour. Not much on the nose: just some subdued citrus and hops. This is a malty IPA with some sweet citrus but not much hoppy bitterness. It has a medium body with pleasant carbonation, and aty 6.5% ABV it is easy to drink. Overall, this is a good drinking, malt-forward, IPA reminiscent of a lot of the IPA's brewed in the southern states.

-orange-yellow crowler pour, hazy, with a 1 cm foam cap. The aroma is tropical fruit and more pronounced as the beer warms. Flavor is tropical fruit first, slightly sweet and floral. The hop bitterness is low, but present. An appropriate malt bill backs the hops. I really enjoyed this and would welcome it on tap locally.

A: Poured from the growler into a stemmed, flared glass. Body is hazy orangey-amber with a small whitish head that leaves a good amount of lace.
S: Citrus, tropical fruit and a hint of sweet malt underneath. Not a terribly strong nose, but it's nice.
T: Really nice-tasting IPA - lots of tropical fruit (mango, papaya) and citrus (limes, tangerines, some lemon). Honey-malt foundation underneath it all. Clean finish, with only a modest fruity hop bitterness lingering in the aftertaste.
M: Call it medium in heft, carbonation is low.
O: An awesome IPA that's on the "softer" or juicier side of the equation, with fruity, tropical hops, rather than a more "sharp" citrus/pine assault. The citrus is there, but there's a balance between that and the tropical fruits. Rushing Duck ought to bottle this - I think it would be a nice flagship ale for them and a good draw; it sits in that "New England-style IPA" category nicely.

A fresh growler once again sent by BA extraordinaire cavedave in a BIF. Pouring this jug in my Weyerbacher tulip for the taste drive!
Look- Pours a brilliant gold color with a small finger of creamy white foam. Beautiful lacing appears as the foam settles.
Smell- Orange, mango, some grapefruit and a hint of malt.
Taste- Blood orange, grapefruit, pineapple and some floral esters in the finish. All subtle, but a very complementary mix. A nice bit of malt bringing up the finish.
Feel- Slick and oily with a slight bitter hop bite in the back.
Overall- A super drinkable IPA that has a nice mix of tropical fruit flavors that don't compete for center stage and a nice complementary malt backbone. My only slight knock on it was the rather tame smell, otherwise a really tasty brew that I'd make a regular in my rotation if I had access to it.

1/2 growler filled at Green Growler Grocery in Croton on Hudson , NY.
Pours heavily hazed lighter amber,off white super fine bubble head, and leaving great looking webs of lace all the way up the glass. Nice looking glass of beer
Super fruity tropical nose. Pineapple, oranges, lemons.
Soft and tasty tropical fruit hops all over this one. Very enjoyable, easy drinking and super worthy. Nice creation in brewing... Go get some.
