Pours a cloudy orange-good body with minimal head and lace. Aroma is slightly tropical fruit with a hint of sharp acidity. Medium to heavy body, lovely tropical and grapefruit like sweetness balanced with a minor acidic sharpness and crisp, snappy finish.

Appearance - pours hazy golden color with a nice fluffy white head great retention settles to a rocky cap. Lots of spotty lacing around the glass.
Aroma - Light pineapple and citrus peel, mild floral hops. Great mix of sweet and slightly bitter nose.
Taste - Really soft flavors, citra hops are really done well, light peach and mango. Great light bitterness from the grapefruit and citrus peel flavor. Perfectly balanced.
Feel - Soft well carbonated, so smooth just a touch of dryness on the finish.
Overall - Really well crafted IPA, the flavors are so balanced and soft, drinks amazingly easy.

Pours a cloudy yellow-orange with a one inc, well retained white head that left sheets of lacing. Smells of citrus and tropical fruits. Tastes of orange, grapefruit, lime, orange peel, mango and a bit of earthy notes. Medium bodied and carbonated, mild bitterness, soft mouth feel.

The yellow-orange tap pour holds a deep haze and hosts a thin foam cap. The aroma is lightly fruity. The flavor is full with tangerine and pineapple. The fine effervescence helps the mouthfeel and refreshment value. This is very good.

The color and opacity of grapefruit juice, but with a couple of fingers of white head on top, this left lots of lacing down the glass... Aromas predictable citric (Citra hops being the "hop du jour"), followed by a slightly tangy, mild and smooth expression of citrus and tropical fruit suggestions... The sweetness was moderate, the bitterness mild... carbonation average, fee was smooth and soft... A really nice IPA for the hop... 10/1/17 release...
