On tap at the brewery. A touch darker than the Juicy Banger, leans toward amber colored but really it is orange. Aroma is Nelson Sauvin hops which I recognize from Alpine Nelson. Flavor is sort ogf like grapes, hops, then a slight touch of onion which I usually get from Summit hops. Overall a good IPA but I think I like the Citra version better.

Before I begin I would like to offer disclosure in that this is my first official review, so please pardon my lack of vocabulary and possibly poor palette sense.
Pours a nice sudsy head that quickly reduces to a thin sheet which retained for the rest of the glass and left no lacing. Very little carbonation and a bright golden color with complete translucence. First impression of smell is a strong pine with underlying orange-peel. Feels very mild in terms of alcohol, in that there is no residual bite.
Despite an appearance that seemed somewhat inactive, the mouthfeel is very much alive. Not like a seltzer, but yet crisp.. think more the feel of sprite than 7up; smaller bubbles more foamy than explosive. Towards the end of the glass much of this activity is lost.
Overall I'm quite pleased with this one, though I don't buy their claim of 100IBU (it tastes equal to or lesser than Dale's at 65IBU.) NOTE: 4 hours prior to this review I had a Great Divide Hercules(Double IPA) so this assessment may not be accurate.
I look forward to trying this one again, glad my liquor store will be carrying it shortly.
OTHER NOTES:
served at ~43f, finished ~39f
Clean American pint glass, unchilled
Time taken: 35 minutes
clean palette, non-smoker
