Saw this on tap at my local bar.
Has a deep yellow color with a nice head that leaves a pretty heavy lacing.
The taste was very bright with a nice hop flavor that wasnt overpowering.
Citrus was noticeable in both the taste and the smell. Awesome IPA - would recommend to all

Bottle on date of 6-15 so a couple months old. Still should be alright and I think it has been refrigerated the entire time. Pours a clear amber with a long lasting solid fingers worth of head. Heavy lacing is left down the glass.
Slightly dank aroma with hints of citrus, tropical punch, earth, and alfalfa.
West Coast style IPA with only hops playing a role in the flavor. Tropical flavors that is a bit dank and earthy. Bitterness is high but has a nice hop flavor payoff.
Bigger IPA and has really nice carbonation that results in a body that showcases the hop flavors.
My local brewery did a Amarillo single hop IPA and this example was much more successful. Amarillo can get very dank, but Bank managed to get more subtle flavors to come forth. Well crafted.

L: Pours brilliant amber under a 2’ clingy white foam collar, lacy. S: Tropical fruit with piney, resiny, minty notes. T: Melon, tropical fruit, citrus, a touch of light tartness on the finish. F: Very creamy, medium body, above average carbonation, very soft in the mouth. O: A well made American IPA that brings together an exceptional texture with big flavors.

Pours a slightly hazy light copper with an off-white head and lots of lacing.
Aroma is citrus and mango and a bit of dank.
Taste follows the nose with juicy citrus, mango, and a slightly piney, resinous finish. A nice backbone of sweetness makes for a nice balance.
The mouthfeel is medium and smooth.
A nice single-hop IPA that showcases the Amarillo hop.
