L-Hazy yellow/gold color
S-Limes, oranges, tangerines and grapefruit
T-A nice blend of the aforementioned hops...very tasty...
F-Not too sweet and rich like some hazy ipa's out there....definitely in that style but cleaner and easier drinking.
O-Everything about this is top notch...single hopped with citrus and sometimes I get some catty notes from citra in some beers but this has none of that...just pure juicy citrus fruit flavors...

From a tall boy, canned 6 days ago, into a tulip: Dense and dull yellow/orange and chalky haze, surprisingly good lacing. Nose is nice: zesty citrus rind, bright juicy grapefruit and orange, some floral notes, maybe just a little sweet pineapple. On the tongue, it follows the nose but is dry and tart more than sweet and juicy. Nice gentle bitterness. Good!

A Tavour Treat. Pours a hazy yellow color with a foamy white head that lasts quite a while. Aroma is grapefuit and citrus. Taste is tangy, sweet grapefuit with a hint of hoppy bitterness.

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of bubbly foam. It left sudsy sheets of lace on the glass. It smelled of melon, grapefruit, orange and caramel sweetness. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a sharp bitterness.

Pours up supa' hazy and with a sizeable head, no chunks. Smell is all that stanky citra goodness but with an unpleasant metallic edge. Taste is overbearingly sweet along with the usual citra dank, grass, and citrus. Should be more drinkable at this ABV...
I wanted more out of this, but it's still undeniably good

Cloudy as can be, bright yellow, slim head.
In the nose: Nothing but pure sunshine. Bold citrus notes, orange and grapefruit and lemon.
In the mouth: Bright and lively from the word "go." Brisk, crisp, and bouncing with hops. Juicy enough for anyone's palate. Citrus explosion, with a pinch of pineapple, a glint of guava. Medium bodied, and expertly drinkable.
Once again, I'm left wishing for more bitterness in this IPA, but I knew what I was getting when I bought it.
