Amber color slightly hazy with an expansive head that took most of the glass and stayed all along and left strong laces.
Aroma with tons of stone fruits, lychees, pineapple juice, chalk yeast, orange-lemon drops and white bread.
Flavor with notes of peaches, pineapple, chalk yeast, pine, some sourness, lemon, oranges and slightly toasted and caramel malts. Dry and bitter aftertaste.
Light to medium body with appropriate carbonation despite ravish head. Alcohol of 7% is well disguised.
This American IPA walked towards a hoppy Saison (but its expansive head and mild sourness may indicate some bug) with piney, citrusy and white fruits notes.

I've had this a few times now and find it very enjoyable.
Quite hop-forward initially but becomes slightly bitter-caramel as you progress through the glass. Perhaps the ABV is a bit high; it's very easy drinking but I find I get a bit too much of a buzz after only a couple of bottles as they get sunk in a hurry. Maybe I should stick to shandy?

Pours a slightly hazy gold/amber with medium head that leaves a ring and some spotty lace. Nose is nice fresh A-hops with pine and some citrus...and I get cherry too actually. Taste is firmly bitter but remains rounded with a touch of residual sweetness that fades to a firmly bitter and long finish. Medium mouthfeel. Overall a very nice classic W-coast IPA.

Gold in colour. Thick frothy, long lasting and frothy head.
Mild citrus hop aroma. Pineapple.
Mellow hops and malt flavour. Decent balance.
Smooth without the bitter aggression shown by other AIPA's.

ok. not my favourite. I think there could have been some other dimensions added to this. A bit heavy on the bitter and light on the body and malt. Perhaps too dry.

Decent but a slight smoked flavour keeps it from being real good.
