poured from a bomber into a shaker pint, the beer is a hazy, light, golden yellow coloring, with carbonation bubbling throughout the body. Aromas of orange rind, grapefruit, and resinous pine pitch. Deliciously balanced nose. Flavors are very tart citrus hops forward, with a toasted grain backbone. Pretty dry and crisp bodied, with a tangy citrus blend of blood orange and grapefruit. Pretty tart linger into a dry, crisp finish.

Superior IPA at a sessionable ABV. Foothills hit a homer with this one. Fresh Citra and Chinook hops combine for a bouquet of juicy tangerines, grapefruit, navel oranges, pine, weed and everything delicious in a well balanced IPA after a pour yields gentle carbonation upon a hazy yellow backdrop. Crispy and dry with tons of juicy citrus in the forefront. One of the better balanced IPAS/Pale Ales (for the ABV) I've had. The taste mimics Zombie Dust a lot with the wonderful use of Citra hops. This beer is wonderful and I would love to see Foothills produce more brews of this quality.
