From the bottle, it pours a nice yellow amber with a nice white head that leaves lacing as you enjoy it. In the nose, it is fruity in the nose and the mouth gets a nice bit of citrus. Pleasant.

This is a 5% ABV 38 IBU IPA by Devil’s Backbone.

Look-It pours a light golden yellow color with stunning clarity and ample carbonation trials. The head is a thin white film and wet drooping lacing.

Smell-It smells very fruity and juicy. It has a sweet tropical malt aroma, like mango and passionfruit…maybe some pineapple.

Taste-The taste follows the nose, but I get a lot more of the tropical fruits and grassy hops along with some honey-suckle malts. It is on the light side of medium-bodied and has a crisp and refreshing finish almost like a rinse, but it leaves a subtle hop resinous coating on the tongue.

Overall-It is crisp and refreshing. It has a nice tropical fruit profile that is sufficiently rare to be taken as an uncommon-brew.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Poured 12oz bottle into snifter glass. 4.6% abv

Appearance- Pours a light yellow/gold with bright white frothy head. Crystal clear in clarity.

Smell- Citric attack of pineapple and orange. Floral with a grassy aroma as well.

Taste- Toasted grain with hints of caramel becoming more citric. Orange dominates. Grassy hop flavor picking up in bitterness through to the finish.

Mouthfeel- Medium in body with active carbonation.

Overall- A lackluster APA. Good flavor but not over the top.

Poured from a bottle (with sediment roused) into a pint glass.

Peachy golden color. Cloudy and bubbly. Head simmers to a thin, but solid, cap. Decent lacing.
Smells bright and hoppy at first with a juicy, fruity smell. Not citrusy. Those smells wear off quickly and leave a more dank aroma.
Tastes as it smells with a sweet, fruit-like infusion. Moderately malty base with a lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel is on the light side of medium.
