I am trying a can of this beer at my bestie's house in Charlotte, NC. It poured a hazy yellow with thin white ring head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had bitter citrus notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bitter citrus presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

This is a new offering from Ratio, and it's a hazy IPA, but not quite to the level of a New England-style IPA. Lots of places around here are starting to do this, sort of as a compromise between the super hazy/juicy beers and traditional ones. It's solid, just nothing out of the ordinary, but very drinkable.
