12oz can served in a tulip. Date on the bottom is 05/21/18, so it's a little bit beyond my standard 3 month window for IPAs. But, it still tastes good so I don't feel bad reviewing it.

Pours a hazy amber with a smallish head and decent lacing. Moderate carbonation. Smell is grapefruity with the slightest hint of old hops (which I'm ignoring).

Taste is grapefruity, a little pine and bitterness. Moderate sweetness.

Mouthfeel is thick but dry. Overall, I like it.

Worth trying, but I was expecting it to be better. Not enough ipa backbone for me. Taste too much like a shandy, so it's kinda refreshing on a hot day.

A - hazed amber body with a creamy ivory colored head
S - orange & grapefruit zest with caramel malt
T - huge grapefruit and orange zest flavor along with some piney hops and sweet caramel
M - lighter side of medium, quite resinous with a bitter and zesty finish
O - I'm usually not a fan of fruit infused beers, but this was pretty good.
