Hazy straw yellow color with a modest and short lived white head.
The aroma is citrus, pine and mango with mild grain background. The taste is grapefruit, lemon zest, mango, pineapple with a hint of peach/apricot.
The finish is dry with lingering grapefruit and pine resin, a bit of east coast/west coast blend.
The body is light, moderate carbonation. Altogether this is a tasty and enjoyable IPA, mild bitterness but plenty of juiciness. Very refreshing and definitely worth a try.

this is up there with the best beers i have ever had from mothers, a completely dry hopped east coast ipa type, hazy but pale and thin and delicate, a bomb explosion of juicy hops in the flavor, i would almost swear there has to be fruit in this, tangerine juice and fresh pineapple and green apple for days, the hops are incredible here, and what the beer lacks in grain complexion, body, and overall refinement, it more than makes up for with this hop profile, as good as it gets on the dry hop here, a total winner. its sort of see through because its so thin, like hazy straw colored water, some carbonation visible from the tap but not a lot of head. its really light, i dont get any of the starchy grains in flavor or texture, although i am sure they are present. the hops have lemongrass, cream soda, cantaloupe, and orange essences, really up front and assertive, a glass of juice as much as a glass of beer. almost no bitterness at all either, so they really linger on the finish, which is just fine with me. orange above other fruits, but the hops are pretty complex and well rounded here, id love to know which all varietals were used, this tastes unique to me in that way. its thin in feel, light for its abv, but its nicely carbonated and drinks easy. i get why this is popular right now, its delicious and distinctive and way more drinkable than a lot of the hazies are. extremely tasty and summery!
