Straw colored with a small white head. A bit cloudy. Citrus on the nose. Citrus, not too bitter, some sweetness. Alcohol is well hidden. Approachable IPA

Had from a 22oz bomber purchased in Portland, OR. Label has quite a bit of info on it. Made from certified organic barley and organic hops from San Juan Island. 14 degrees, 60 IBUs, and 6.0% ABV
Pours a lightly hazy straw/golden color with an ample white head, solid retention, and nice lacing.
Aromas of candied grapefruit, orange zest, fresh-cut grass, pine, spice, and white flowers.
Medium-bodied and very lithe on the palate. Fresh and racy with plenty of carbonation. Has a nice wheaty acidity, but a very crisp and dry finish of cracked white pepper, orange peel, birch, and paper.

Pours a hazy pale golden with a foamy white head.
Citrusy, floral hops, a solid crackery malt base.
A quite well done IPA.

On tap at Hopworks last night. A hazy light orange with a dense, white head with decent retention and lacing, this looks solid. The nose is blah. Chalky grapefruit hops, a pronounced wheat and grain aroma with minimal sweetness, some bread. Hip character is mild on both nose and palate with mild citrus, some orange juice, a moderate wheat malt character and some bread. Drying but with a dextrinous fullness on the finish, this beer is decent. Meh.
