Pale, milky, buttercup-yellow.
Nose = fresh, hoppy, citrusy (grapefruit).
Pleasant, dominant hoppy bitterness. Not much malt.
All in all, a very enjoyable American IPA from Winconsin's Door County.

Very smooth. Highly recommend.

 

Poured 16oz can into snifter. Color is a turbid and cloudy light orange with a 2 finger head that fades slowly and leaves webbed lacing on my glass. The scent is lovely citrus, pear, pineapples and mangoes. The El Darodo hop gives an incredible tropical juicy to it. Absolutely fantastic topical fruits in the taste is more of the same citrus and pear, peaches, pineapples and mangoes. A bit of slight grapefruit and pine bitter, malt in the finish. Excellent carbonation with oily hop residue and dry finish. I'm happy that this is now in cans!

 

 

12oz bottle, served in a snifter glass. Pours a hazy, cloudy golden orange body, one finger thick white head, good retention, bits of lacing. Smell is mildly fruity, mostly orange, a bit of dough, minerals, cracker and touch of grain. Some grapefruit also. There is a slight bubble gum flavour, not unlike a hefeweizen. Flavour is a cleaner grain with moderate orange and floral hop aromatics, touch of cracker, a slight minerality not too unlike a lager or pilsner, if that makes sense. Mild floral bitterness on the backend. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, creamy, good body without too much bitterness or sweetness on the backend. A pretty good IPA, although the bubble gum aroma is a little weird for what is supposed to be a NE IPA.

From bottle into chalice. Very cloudy yellow appearance. Some tropical aroma and taste. But feel is very nice and smooth.
