A. Slightly hazy, a few sparse bubbles shimmying up from the bottom of the glass.
S. Bright and fresh, citrus and malt.
T. Quick burst of bitter followed by a smooth malt flavor. Smooth finish overall. Takes me back to 80s Sam Adams. The first quality beer I ever tasted. Gawd, what's happened to Sam!
M. Slightly fizzy and creamy, dry at the end. An excellent denouement.
O. Superb IPA. Brings me back to 90s microbeers.

Very hazy, nearly opaque but glowing orange-yellow with a large, frothy off-white foam that lightly clings in thick, uniform mounds all the way around the glass.
Smell is orange and grapefruit with orange rind and a touch of pine, a little bit of biscuit and even a hint of strawberry and vanilla.
Taste is orange and lemon with a softly faint strawberry-vanilla-banana accent all under a slightly tangy, slightly acidic hoppy yeast punch that's kind of like kiwi, finishing with a shortbread malt.
Softly crisp, the medium body has a tingly, semi-dry finish.

Served on tap into a conical pint glass at Water Street Grill in Williamstown, Massachusetts
A: Pours a hazy, golden orange color with a half inch, foamy white head, solid retention, and good lacing.
S: Aromas of citrus (grapefruit>orange), tropical fruit (mango and pineapple), and pine.
T: Flavor a lemon/orange combo with caramel malt and piney hop bitterness both in play. Complex with light bitterness.
M: Light bodied with persistent moderate effervescence. Goes down very smoothly.
O: A hop based fruitiness on a par with Tree House Julius, although lighter and somewhat more understated. Another solid, summer compatible IPA.

Feels like this beer has improved. Smell is insane tropical fruit. Love that a malt taste is present.
