Pours a slightly turbid, foggy orange with a finger of white head. Head forms fairly freely, and retains fairly well. Good lacing left behind. Aroma is pine, resin, and dank hops right at the front. They sorta stick and linger in the nostrils. A whiff of mango add a little extra depth, while throwing in a dash of sugar to the more bittery hop aroma. Flavor profile is mango, grapefruit, pine, and resin. It opens up with those sweet tropical fruit notes, but quickly works its way into a more bitter, evergreen forest-like finish. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a nice crisp finish that just has a touch of harsh carbonation to it. Overall, hops hit both sides of the spectrum, but balance and work each other out. Well rounded and developed IPA.
Served in a 12oz snifter from a 12oz bottle.

Golden body, matte and clear. Two and a half finger white, rocky head that dissipates to a patchy cap. Spare and sticky lace.
Grapefruit and mango jump out of the bottle as I open it. The fruit mingles with some honey-like malts.
Bready malts and a honey character back up the big but balanced hop profile. Tropical fruit and grapefruit with an orange sweetness. Fresh pine towards the finish.
Medium bodied with a slight resin stickiness in the mouth feel. Medium carbonation with a dry, peppery finish.

No date. 12 oz. bottle.
Pours nicely, slight haze, off white head. Good lacing and retention. Citrus rind, Stone fruit. Tropical and piney. Gets more complex as it warms. Gotta be mosaic and citra in here somewhere. Simcoe too. Very good.

This is one of my most favorite IPAs. Slight hint of grapefruit, but not grapefruit infused - all the taste is just from the correct selection and brewing of hops.
