Another winner from Grimm. Citrus, tropical and floral notes. Taste follows suit. Just a great, simple combination. East coast meets west coast in this one for me, giving this beer the best of both worlds. Just juicy enough without being overly so. Medium carbonation. Leaves behind a ton of lacing.

Excellent hop combo of citra, azacca and simcoe. Very aromatic and spicy. Some dankness. A welcome change to the many NEIPAs which are less spicy.

Beautiful almost orange juice milkshake with a thick white head. This stuff looks fantastic which is what this smells like too. Tropical notes with slight dankness just pouring off this brew. More malt than I thought from the nose but this beer is quite flavor packed. Tropical flavors shift to a malt finish with enough sweetness to defeat most of the bite. This is a really good brew here. It’s creamy thick and almost prickly carbonated. Could benefit from a bit more but I’m splitting hairs. This is is worth a try !

Look: Pours a hazy yellow/orange. Three finger white foam head.
Smell: Lemon and apricot. Sweet aroma with various hops, herbal and botanical.
Taste: Mango and apricot, some banana and guava. Some bitterness in the background, which is nice.
Feel: Good carbonation and thickness.
Overall: Good pure hops and flavor, a good beer.

From a growler , filled about two hours ago.
Translucent orangey-gold, with light white head, that leaves a 1/4" ring , and 1/2" of lacing .
Smell is a mix of citrus - a sour tangelo-like aroma being most prominent - , apricot,candied pineapple, mango, and a slightly sweet/slightly solvent-y pine scent. I'm TASTING that last bit + pineapple+apricot when I take a deep whiff. All-in-all, a very pleasant and inviting olfactory presence.
Taste is grapefruit, orange rind, light pine, and a slight bit of dankness. Moderate bitterness comes in mid-taste,builds toward the finish, and lingers a bit. [Edit>]Getting a little of that apricot & mango towards the finish, after it's warmed to ~55F.
Feel is on the light side of medium, with light, very fine carbonation.
Overall, quite enjoyable , and would recommend it.
[Edit>] After reading other reviews, I'm wondering if I was actually given Zap. Or is it variable , from batch to batch? Hmmm??? OK, I guess I will HAVE TO get it again, when another batch comes around. ;)
