Quick review from notes, on tap at the brewery today.

Bright saturated orange tone, tight cap of white foam. Lace in the glass.

Pungent aroma of citrus and sticky dank nugs. Dry hopped with Simcoe, and contains a blend of 6 other hop varietals.

Flavor was resiny and moderately bitter, malt sweetness was well tempered by the melange of hop character. Grapefruit pith, tangerine, and a certain vibe of resinous greenery. Light enough to drink easily, well hidden abv. This was the standout of the lineup at the brewpub for sure.

Edit: Bottle from the brewery was old and faded. Stick to draft for freshest option... Your mileage may vary.

Served in a shaker pint glass at the brewpub.

My final beer during my first visit here. It pours a clear brass topped by a finger of lightly off-white foam. The nose comprises grapefruit zest, orange zest, light pineapple, mild pine resin, light leek, and some mild caramel. The taste brings in more of the same, though here the leek is replaced by grass and the caramel by toffee. The body is a light-leaning medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a drying finish. Overall, a pretty nice DIPA. This was the standout of a fairly lackluster lineup. Not bad.
