Poured at fridge temp. Pours a very murky orange with some flakes throughout. Minimal head. The nose is amazing. Tropical fruit all the way. Mango, pineapple, vanilla, and banana. A bit of citrus and wheat. After a little while, I start to pick up a bit of mint and apple. Really nice.
The taste is really nice. Hoppy bitterness strikes first. Tropical fruits come quickly behind, although the hop bitterness still dominates. Mango and pineapple, with a bit of papaya. Citrus peel, leather, tree sap, wheat, and green apple.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Very refreshing with a great mix of sweet and hoppy. Overall, a really fantastic IPA.

Pours a bright opaque orange like orange juice. There's a soft cap of white foam that leaves nice lacing. The aroma is almost pure orange juice. The flavor is also pure orange juice almost pulpy and even has a slight citric acid acidity. Medium bodied and well carbed. This is an excellent beer. Very, very enjoyable.

Pours a hazy light orange with a 1F head and light lacing.
Smells of floral hops and citrus.
Tastes of tangy wheat, tart grapefruit and sweet orange with a persistent lightly bitter finish.
Medium light body with light prickly carbonation. Dry mouthfeel.
This is a very tasty brew with contrasting sweet and tart/bitter parts.

6 oz draft pour at Lures Bar & Grille in Crownsville, MD. Pours a light hazy yellow/orange color. Aroma and flavor feature ripe citrus, papaya, and pineapple atop a fluffy wheaty malt base. Solid, but not overly memorable.

IPA-Imperial / Double
A mega earthy and grainy hop bomb, stone fruit, hard citrus, pine sap and passion fruit with lots of tang with a sour, fruity earth style cringe. Not a fan of that sour lemon zest and grainy finish. There's a Sharp bite, then a smooth finish. Sip it. It's worth paying attention too. But odd in its sourness.

Appearance: Served up an matte, yellow-orange body. Very slim head albeit from a to-the-rim pour.
Smell: Tropical, citrusy aromatics with a bit of pith atop the raw, nigh-gluey grain blend.
Taste: A tangy, brightly juicy, fruity flavor of tangerine, pineapple, passion fruit and apricot. Leans a tad sweet. Underneath are some florals, more citric pith and a faint veggie hint. Bitterness is fairly slight. Warming alcohol presence. A smidgen of chalk. Pureed fruits by the bitter, the booze, the pith on the mouth-coating finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-light carbonation. Smooth, coating mouthfeel.
Overall: Great band. Good beer.

Built To Spill pours a hazy, cloudy, yellow color with a small but long-lasting, massive lacing head. The aroma is strong, with lots of fresh melon and cantaloupe notes. The flavor is dry and a little sweeter, with big melon flavors and cantaloupe, very summer-like. Good feel. Overall, strong flavors, lots of flavors, just a very good hazy IPA.
