Pretty golden orange with a thick off-white head. Brilliant aroma of grapefruit with just a touch of pine. Boat loads of grapefruit flavor but without much backbone. Very minimal caramel. Dusty body with a very, very bitter finish. Mouthfeel wise this is very good. The bitterness is intense and blistering. There just isnt enough behind it. Drinkable.

A - Well it was straight from the fermentor, so it was still going along, and it hadn't been dry hopped yet for the 3rd time. So it was still cloudy and had bits of hops floating around. Other than that, it was a beautiful golden orange amber, with an off-white head.
S - Strong floral/ citrusy hops. There was a ny piney hops in there to bee found. The background of caramel malts were hard to find, but poked through here and there.
T - caramel, and sweet oak were surrounded, engulfed, and beaten down by the hops. I also loved the fact that there was no bitterness, or at least very little bitterness in the end.
M - well since it was still in the vessel, I can't say too much about it. But i can tell it will be very tru to an IPA style.
D - Im going back for more. I cant wait till this sucker is on taps. it'll be great.
