L: Pours a very pale yellow color when the a medium foamy head and thick lacing all around the glass.
S: Notes of orange, pineapple, a bit of lemon and a nice touch of sweetness. Ends with a delicate bouquet of floral hops.
T: Lighter tropical fruit than the aroma, a strong floral hop followed by a lot of bitterness.
F: Prickly carbonation lighter body.
O: it's an average IPA.

Poured can dated 9/25/20 into pint glass, so at almost 100 days this may be a little dated but not dated so much you can't get a good review on it.
Poured an ugly "stale pee" color with very little head that dissipated quickly. Shows low carbonation. Smell is fresh fruit, subtle papaya and bread but heavy grapefruit.
Taste is all grapefruit. Almost nothing else.
The feel is the best part of this beer - nice and crisp and fresh tasting.
As I'm not a fan of grapefruit, I'm likely to rate this lower than most.

Very nice pale yellow look, like lemonade; vigorous carbonation; very thin head that dissipates quickly. An intriguing lemon bread aroma; a touch of citrus. Bread crust and diluted lemon taste; washed out hop bitterness. Light body; watery; some very light bite on the palate; semi-dry finish.
I wonder if this isn't some sort of take on a shandy and not an IPA like the can label states. It has a very nice color to the body and the smell is alluring, but the fizzy, thin head and weak taste and mouthfeel makes this a one-and-done for me.
