A unique hop medley is responsible for this west coast-style IPA’s aromatic and fruity disposition. Amarillo, Simcoe, Columbus, and Chinook hops blended with caramel and rye malts for a flavor that strikes the right balance between malty and bitter.

I'm trying this at the brewery. It poured a clear copper with white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent had hints of citric bitterness. The taste was bitter leaning and not overly easy to drink. There was bitter citrus presence. The mouthfeel is medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it's an ok beer.

Bitter, acidic orange juice. Not stellar.

Comes out of the tap a somewhat hazy and quite bubbly amber with a thick, fine-bubbled, pale wheat head. Strong aroma is quite hoppy and has a firm fruity tone, mainly grapefruit with hints of orange and lemon. Fiercely hoppy flavor is rather bitter and has a strong fruity undertone, grapefruit and Mandarin orange with a hint of banana, as well as a hint of yeast. Texture is smooth firm and fizzy, while finish has a hoppy, bitter tingle.

On tap at the brewery. IBU - 95; ABV = 6.3%.
Clear, amber body; good head and excellent. sticky lacing.
Aroma: herbal-floral hops with toffee and hints of fruits and baked bread.
Flavor: A bit malty for style despite a (nea?) normal hop load. Hints of toffee and baked fruits. Bitterness seems way lower than the listed IBU of 95 suggests.
O: a relatively malty, Eastern IPA.
