Very nice IPA! Served on tap at Murphy's Irish Pub in Alexandria. Shaker pint. Golden colored liquid with a finger of creamy foam. Aromas of citrus and pine resin. Flavors of tropical fruits, big juicy tangerine, and bready malt. Clean finish.

Canned on 1/15/19
Pours a cloudy dark gold orange topped with two fingers of tightly-composed white foam; excellent retention, thick, soapy lacing, and a persistent collar generously left to hang around once all else fades. A beautiful-looking IPA.
Aromas of dank orange, tons of tropical citrus juice, weedy grass, and crisp malt upfront, with hints of red grapefruit rounding out the burlier aspects of a slightly tropical-dominant bouquet.
Taste shows an excellent marriage of floral, fruity, and malty notes; dank herbal bitterness backing red grapefruit and orange peel along with faint earthy pine; slightest creaminess along with the bit of resin sticks around on the finish.
Mouthfeel hits with an excellent medium body alongside equally balanced carbonation; full and creamy with great prickly hop undertones and a mild bitterness following through the finish; rounds out nicely with lingering resin-malt balance. Silky and brilliantly built overall feel with a design making this so drinkable.
Definitively easy-drinking, with every aspect screaming sessionability. The profile itself is nothing lofty, but it’s composed cleanly and with enough highlighting of its crisp, juicy tones for the silky smooth mouthfeel to it carry the rest of the way. So approachable, and a cleverly laid-out impression of a west coast/NEIPA hybrid.

Poured from a 16oz can into a Speiglau IPA glass.
Look is a dark orange amber with a thick white head.
Aroma is herbal citrus with a little pine.
Taste is piney and citrus. This is a classic IPA. Love the hop malt balance. Nice change from hazies.
