Pale straw color with good lacing and a slight head; steady bubble trail keeps the wispy head from leaving.
Smell is very much of pine and hops.
Tastes citrusy and clean; hops are subtle but present on both front end and aftertaste.
Feel is light and crisp.
Overall: This IPA would pair well with a relish tray of olives, pickles, and spicy cheeses. It would also be a great white wine substitute with pastas and fish.

12oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of orange, pineapple and mango. Sweet tropical taste with toasted caramel.

Look: slightly hazy, golden straw. Very minimal head that disappears quickly.
Smell: lots of pine and orange citrus. hints of malt.
Taste: mostly pine, wood and malt. Low to medium bitterness. Expected more citrus to shine through given the nose but not coming through as strong in the taste. The 7% is hidden nicely though.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied.
Overall: decent IPA for the midwest with a lot of pine and wood. Hope more midwestern breweries continue to try their hand at juicy IPAs.

Look: The beer is opaque, a color between lemon yellow and burnt orange. The head is light cream colored and dissipates to a wisp. Foamy bands of lacing remain.
Aroma: Clean pine, orange citrus, toasted bready malts.
Taste: Like the aroma, a clean pine taste dressed up with orange zest. The finish is dry and woody, even a little spicy.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and dry.
Overall: A very decent juicy IPA with good pine notes. 7% ABV well hidden.
