Glowing yellow gold body. Slight slight haze. Really nice grapefruit and pine and hint of malt backbone. Super well balanced and delicious

500 mL bottle pour to shaker, golden color with decent white head retention, some lacing. Nose of mango, strawberry, light pineapple. Taste is among the best balanced IPAs around. Great cross-section of bitterness, malt sweetness, and hop flavors. Above average body and moderate carbonation.

Pours a clear gold to amber with a foamy white head that recedes to a minimum coverage and with mild lacing. Smells of mango, citrus, melon, and even minor hints of blueberry and pine. Flavor definitely has an array of fruitiness, and even that blueberry mentioned shows itself a bit, followed with some lemon. A touch of cracker and sweet crushed Smarties like flavor compliment the fruitiness, and finishes with an interesting herbal quality. Feel is pretty crisp with mild to medium carbonation. Overall, this is a pretty solid IPA, and would welcome it in six packs. Cheers!
