ONE PINT can
Served in an oversized, stemless, wine glass
This beer pours pale yellow and turbid. It is topped with a couple inches of beige head that leaves decent lacing.
A little dank. A little citrus.
Nice citrus flavor. Grapefruit flavor builds as I consume. Not really bitter though.
Medium bodied with an effervescent mouthfeel
Solid IPA

This is one of the ugliest IPAs I've had or reviewed in a while. It's pours that milky golden. The type of color that I generally attribute to IPAs that have significant hop burn. That is the extreme to this visual, I can disassociate taste with the visual but it's hard to shake something on that extreme of the spectrum. Alas, there is no hop burn. That's a victory. But the visual still wins through psychological warfare over the olfactory experience this provides. Some grass, some lime zest, some tangerine. But it's all a bit subtle. I just can't get over how this looks.

A - Pours a hazy golden orange with a large foamy white head. Huge amount of soapy lacing.
S - Aroma is grapefruit pith, lemon and resinous hops.
T - The taste is mango, grapefruit, lemon, berries and and a bitter piney finish.
M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Pillowy mouthfeel with a soft dry finish.
O - Solid. Flavor is on the bitter side. Mouthfeel is on point.
