Look - Pours a yellow/orange haze with a two inch delicate head. The foam recedes steadily, but leaves ample lacing and retain a thin layer throughout the glass.
Smell - Citrus heavy aroma with orange and grapefruit leading the way. Whisps of sweet vanilla and ever so slight pine.
Taste - The juice hits first with orange and grapefruit pith up front. Beyond that is pine resin and bitterness. A touch of biscuity malt is also detectable. Everything is very well balanced and each flavor comes through very cleanly.
Feel - Soft, pillowy, and smooth.
Overall - A fantastic representation of a heavily hopped pale ale. Juicy and bitter with a malt backbone that can stand up to the big flavor without getting in the way. A perfectly clean beer with concentrated flavor. Very well done.

Pours a murky bright yellow color. Tons of tropical fruits and citrus hops; super creamy and easy to drink with no bitterness.
A very good IPA; worth checking out.

Color is cloudy yellow. The aroma is citrusy sweet with hop bitterness. The smell is amazing. The taste is equally so. The fruit comes through with certain sweetness and some hops. It is full bodied, crisp and refreshing. Greta balance all around.

I couldn't find a date on the can, but considering the aroma and flavor and the fact that my buddy got this pretty fresh, I'd say this was well worthy to discuss here.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a thick milky pale yellow color with a finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off at a moderate pace. One ring of lace formed around the top.
The aroma had a superb blend of citrus pith/rind-like bitter character flowing into some dried melon/honeydew sweetness and then developing a keen sweet clean white bread backbone. Subtle bitter dried pine.
The flavor took all of those prior mentioned aromas to present a nice smooth sticky sweet white bready contour riding with the melon sweetness to glide into the aftertaste exceptionally clean and superb! The pine did enter in this department as it warmed.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a good sessionability about it. Sure, it's a bit thicker for a pale ale, but it really hits the spot. Carbonation feels a bit under with the stickiness almost coming across as cloying, but in reality, it's not, it just has a stellar balance. ABV felt appropriate. Finish was a bit sticky.
Overall, what a wonderful APA that I would love to have again.

What a wonderful beer. Cloudy golden in color. Pungent smell of weed and grapefruit. Incredible feel. In my sweet spot for abv. But not thin. Chewy. But very soft and well carbonated. Loads of hop on the nose and taste. The finish has a bit of bitterness. The combination of resinous bitter and juicy fruit make this stand out. Exceptional.
