Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – The beer is served a hazy yellow-orange color with a one finger head of white foam. The head has a good level of retention, fading slowly over time to leave a moderate amount of foamy/streaky lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is strongest of a grapefruit and tropical fruit aroma (tangerine, papaya, mango) mixed with aroma of an herbal and piney. Along with these smells comes a touch of lemon and a litte bit of grass and some caramel.
Taste – The taste begins with a crisp cracker malt flavor that is matched by some grapefruit and piney hop. As the taste moves forward flavors of the tropical fruits that were detected in the nose become more pronounced. At the same time there are flavors of a light yeastiness and some subtle spice comes to the tongue, leaving one with a nice crisp and clean hop taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is lightly lighter and thinner with a carbonation level that is moderate. Overall, the feel is rather well sone, as the thinner body makes if more easier drinking, while the moderate carbonation level allows all the hop to shine through.
Overall – A rather tasty and nice session IPA. Very flavorful session style brew with a low calorie and approachable drinking nature.

Very pale color, cloudy--almost looks like lemonade! with a substantial head on top of it. Bright hop aroma, resiny, with a bit of citrus. Flavor--is odd. Not a bit of malt taste to it. I guess it's fairly hopped with a lot of citrus but it tastes more like a hopped seltzer than a beer. Very thin bodied and watery. Bizarre and not a very good beer at all. Give this one a pass.
