The beer pours a nice white bubbly head that dissipates very quickly. The beer itself is very nice to look at and definitely enticing. The beer itself is a clear pale yellow color that is nice to look at.

The beer smell and taste are both very good and appealing. While it's "furiously hopped", it's not as bitter as some of the other TIPA out there but it still has a nice bitterness to it. The hops that come out are an interesting combination of pine with light resin note, a strong hint of orange that comes out in the smell while citrus is in the taste, and a subtle lemon note in the middle of all that. For a beer that mainly has strong hop notes, it's interestingly complex and a has a lot going on in the surface and underneath.

The feel is interesting but good. It has a heavy body to it but very drinkable to the point where you can easily go overboard. The carbonation is fairly light and ticklish but it gives the beer a very nice texture that gives it a slight dryness as well.

Overall, this is a pretty good TIPA that isn't overwhelming and perfect for the summer. Go for it while you still can.
