L-Fairly deep yellow with a faint haze, white head leaves a bit of lace but then recedes to a decent ring which is supplied by the releasing carbonation from the base of my Spiegelau IPA glass.
S-Plenty of Indeterminate hop aroma with a touch of floral/soap.
T-Taste follows the nose.
F-Medium to full body with some coating stickiness.
O-Solid and up with the other well made AIPAs but lacking anything to distinguish it.

5oz sample at the brewery.

Amber-copper color. Floral citrus aroma. Taste is citrus vegetal. Mouthfeel is light and dry. Overall, not bad.

Canned 2/7/17; drank 3/9/17 @ the Yarchives.

See-through orange/yellow appearance; champagne bubbles throughout.

A rough pour yielded a big, noisy bright white head; a curtain of frothy lace.

Cane sugar, baking soda, grapefruit & mild caramel notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Cane sugar & grapefruit flavors up front; caramel & mild baking soda notes on the finish.

Old model IPA dullness.

Poured from a can at 45 degrees,

Look: Pours a dull, hazy color with a good thick head
Smell: Bitter and citrusy
Taste: Pleasant amount of hops with a citrus flavored profile. The flavor is like a New-England IPA, but it is light and crispy enough and not to heavy nor sweet. The finish is dry.
Feel: The body is light and crisp and well carbonated.

Overall: This is a great beer brewed with El Dorado Hops. I would describe it similar to a West Coast IPA in terms of bitterness and dryness but the usual pine flavor is replaced by the citrus El Dorado Hops. You could say it is like a Brut IPA version of the NEIPA. Similar flavor, but has the dryness and bitterness of the West-coast style. Overall, a solid brew.
