A: This poured a hazy light gold with a little white head.
S: It smelled like fresh bitter grapefruit, with some sweet juicy pineapple and spicy floral hops.
T: It tasted like dank herbal hops and bitter grapefruit, with some sweet pineapple and honey malt. It had a clean bitter aftertaste with a little alcohol warming.
M: It was thick with moderate carbonation. Nice full body.
D: This was a delicious IPA, with top tier scent and very enjoyable taste, although not as bold or crisp as some other Ocelot IPAs. The body was solid, but the finish was a bit hot, so it was better to sip. Recommended.

Half-pour at brewery. Hey, I gotta get home in one piece. Emailed myself these notes.
L 2f head good retention lacing ring. beer is gold.
s mango, pineapple, grapefruit, lemon peel
t fruit-forward as in nose, then to cracker malts to a smooth finis,h little to no bitterness
f light to medium body, light to medium carbonation. far more mellow and drinkable than ABV would indicate. good construction and balance. crisp and refreshing. comes off as a super-flavor session.
o nice job by ocelot and bluejacket on this collaboration.

Draft at Union Market in D.C.
Light golden body with an inch of soapy white head. Aromas of floral, grassy hops, lemon. Hop forward and tangy with medium-high bitterness. Tasty.

Bangin'. Such a loud yet clear and robust hop character of pure west coast nugs. Taste follow up in a way where you immediately manoeuvre into thought regarding your acquisition of another glass.
Off the charts, very happy to see this collaboration.

This beer is a collaboration with Bluejacket. The beer is very complex and very nicely balanced. Another great beer from a brewery that consistently makes good beers.
