A super-drinkable IPA that can be sold to beer lovers of all stripes. Hopped with a mix of Nugget, Cascade, Columbus and Zeus with notes of pineapple and grapefruit, the hops shine throughout while the beer maintains balance. Characteristics include subtle malt flavor, crisp dryness, and a white foam head. Designed for daily drinking in Florida, because as natives know, every day is a Summa-day.

L: Pours a really dark yellow brown with a small white head and no lacing on the glass.
S: Notes of some papaya, caramel, a strong pi ey bitterness, almost some butterscotch, don't get a ton of tropical fruit, the Aroma is weird.
F: Good carbonation, medium body.
O: This just seems like a really strange IPA to me.
T: Some sweet tropical and notes of kumquat followed by a bit of caramel and butterscotch, like the taste better than the aroma but still a weird IPA.

Nice crystal amber color. Aroma of astringent, malt and a little apricot. Taste of heavy malt and hops.

Florida craft beer...hit or miss in my experience...this is mostly a "miss" in my estimation but not bad...not loving the after taste, but I'm drinking it with a pretty girl on the Venice Beach Pier in Florida

A dark cherry amber color. Fairly large off-white head that disappeared quickly.
Sweet malt and citrus aroma.
Grapefruit and caramel taste.
Medium-bodied.
A bit underwhelming.
