Draft at the Taphouse... but have also seen it at The Growler Guys... Pours slightly hazy light golden, good lacing and retention.. Dry melon tropical fruitiness... Pretty awesome. Definitely seems like Jamil was shooting for a nice middle of the road approachable IPA... I dig it.

On-tap at THG. Nonic pint.

A: Pours a medium caramel color with golden highlights beneath a fuzzy quarter inch cap of dense, long lasting foam. Thick rings and sheets of lace were left after each sip. Great head retention with a fuzzy film lasting until the last drop.
S: Citrus scented hops on the nose. Fresh smelling, smells just like hop pellets in a cold room.
T: Crisp and clean flavors of straight forward citrus hops dominate. Caramel flavors and a slight breadiness lingers in the finish. Bright and potent leafy bitterness in the aftertaste. Well balanced, fresh hop flavor, citrus, grapefruit pith, and slight pine. Crisp clean bitterness lingers in the aftertaste.
M: Medium-light body, crisp and clean mouthfeel, bright and easy drinking carbonation.
O: A very well balanced and near flawless IPA, archetype to the style. It's not going to knock your socks off, and it don't have a lot of bells or whistles, but it is very flavorful, easy to drink, crisp clean, and enjoyable.
