This is a kettle soured IPA with Amarillo and Nelson hops. The intent of this beer was for the acidity to be just over subtle.

16 oz. can from May poured into Teku glass.
L: Slightly hazy gold-bronze. 3F head, good retention, lots of sticky lacing and a cap and ring.
S: Sour grapefruit and lemon predominate.
T: Actually tastes better than nose would indicate. Still mostly sour citrus, but the malt presence really moderates the sourness and keeps it in check.
F: Light to medium body, medium carbonation. Comes off pretty crisp and refreshing.
O: I've seen a few attempts at sour IPAs bomb, but this one is pretty good.

Pours pale gold with heavy haze. Cloudy swirls with the glass. Small off white head doesn't last long. Minimal lacing.
Fruity hop aroma. Green apple, grapefruit, and melon. Some lemon and mango. Just a hint of tartness.
Taste much like the aroma. Grapefruit and lemon shine. Vinous grape and soured apple. Very little malt presence.
Mouth feel is fairly thin and light. Medium carbonation. Tartness asserts itself in the middle and especially the swallow. Lingering fruit, especially citrus.
Quite a unique beer. Big hops but with an unusual tart/sour aspect.

Poured a cloudy orange body with one-finger head that slowly died and left a lace ring around glass. Aroma is sour and acidic with hints of orange and not much else. Light bodied, passes easy, not a bad beer and the sour aspect is minimal (at best) and doesn't conflict with a mostly orange and spicy hop presence. ABV is hidden and finishes easy and could pass off as a beginning sour beer more than a sour IPA. Not a bad beer at all and worth trying.
