I really enjoyed this beer, it's definitely in my top 15%. It pours a very clear golden color with a moderate head and effervescence that lasts throughout the drinking experience. The aroma is very hoppy and somewhat floral/herbal. The taste is a very nice combination of hops and bitterness.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Dogfish Head tulip. No freshness date

L: Clear light golden pour with 2 fingers of fluffy white head. Great lacing.

S: Light and citrusy.

T/F: Crackery grains and citrus forward hops. Some fruit sweetness followed by modest bitterness. Lighter tropicals and orange rind. Floral at the finish. Clean and clear... light bodied and effervescent.

O: A pleasant IPA. Well made and easy drinking.

Delicious, citrusy, clean. Light bodied and well carbonated. Balance is almost even, just enough on the bitter and GOP's flavor side to call it hop- balanced. "Vibrant" and "uplifting" (appearing on the bottle) are both well deserved.

Clear orange amber color. Abiyt a medium body with at least average carbonation. Aroma is tropical fruit,lemon/citrus, cereal,grain and some malt. Taste followed,nothing stood out too much with it having a mild bitter taste and finish

DATE: March 9, 2018... OCCASION: Book Bingo 2018, in the books... GLASSWARE: Brew at the Zoo pint... sizzles out the bottle, forming a bright, sudsy two-finger body that bubbles and holds steady... crystal clear golden body allows for sparse effervescence.... light grapefruit and mango, grainy biscuit, and wavering spiciness--neither unique nor forward, but no indictment on its overall appeal--that is, if it were NOT an IPA... uneven head is left as the glass drains... the palate is predictably light, with reasonable effervescence and texture... the ABV has been increased slightly (to 6.0%) since it was added to Ratebeer... FWIW, the ABV is appropriate, making for an that reminds me of what was before the hop heads took over the beer garden... flavor profiles include grapefruit, mango, pineapple, crisp apple cider, biscuit, mild pepper, and floral notes... breaking no new ground but offering a dependable profile, this beer is a nice surprise in the mix twelve.... is this "uplifting?" Actually, it kinda is...
